Milan-based Maxi Mobility has secured €1.2 million in a new funding round co-led by UniCredit Bank and the Motor Valley Accelerator. The company, founded in 2021, aims to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission vehicles in Italy. Additional participants in the round include Plug and Play Tech Center, Fondazione di Modena, and a group of angel investors.
Scaling an All-Inclusive EV Model
Maxi Mobility offers a comprehensive subscription service designed for taxi drivers and corporate fleets. This package bundles electric vehicle leasing with unlimited charging and proprietary fleet management software. In addition, the service includes 24/7 driver support to simplify the transition to electric.
The new capital will directly fund the expansion of current operations in Milan and Rome. Furthermore, the company will enhance its digital platform and its EV charging infrastructure across key urban locations. Maxi Mobility also plans to explore entry into other European markets with growing demand for electric fleets.
This model directly addresses the primary barriers to EV adoption for professional drivers.
The company's focus is strategically timed. For instance, over 13,000 taxi licenses are active in Milan and Rome, with more expected following the 2023 Asset Decree. This positions the startup to compete for contracts against established players like LeasePlan and Arval by offering a specialized, all-in-one electric solution.
