Chargepoly history
The very name “Chargepoly” derives from the combination of the terms “charge” and “versatility”, reflecting the company’s mission to offer versatile charging solutions for the varied needs of electro-mobility, and the wide range of skills required to develop appropriate solutions.
The Chargepoly adventure begins in 2019, when the world of electric mobility is still in its infancy. Hadi Moussavi, a polytechnician and former Air Liquide executive, begins a strategic collaboration with the Institut Vedecom, an organization dedicated to research and development in the field of electro-mobility. This alliance will lead to the creation of two patents, creating an initial industrial property base on which Chargepoly will develop its products.
Hadi Moussavi quickly realized that the potential of his charging stations would be fully exploited for the most demanding applications, such as recharging electric bus and truck fleets.
In January 2022, Chargepoly took part in CES® Las Vegas as part of the French Tech delegation. On this occasion, the company presented its ultra-fast charging station, which was awarded the prestigious CES® 2022 “Innovation Award” in the Vehicle & Transport Intelligence category. This worldwide recognition acknowledges the exceptional quality of the innovation developed by Chargepoly.
After two years of intense product development, twelve patents registered in six countries, and industrialization, the first charging stations are launched on the market.
July 2023 marks a major milestone for Chargepoly with the opening of Chargepoly America Corp. a subsidiary dedicated to expanding its solutions in the North American market. This strategic initiative is part of the company’s vision to become a global player in zero-carbon heavy mobility.
In October 2023, Chargepoly completes a €15 million Series A financing round in a tense macro-economic context, confirming the relevance of its positioning. Voltalia, an international player in renewable energies, joins Fidève Groupe, a long-standing industrial investor.
Chargepoly’s adventure continues more intensely than ever, with the company accelerating its development and pursuing its R&D efforts to provide the market with the most appropriate solutions.

Thomas Vanquaethem's bio
I joined the Chargepoly adventure in early 2023 after meeting Hadi a year earlier. I was convinced that this company could contribute with concrete solutions to the decarbonization of the transport sector. This sector accounts for 15% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, around half of which are linked to freight and passenger transport fleets. It’s a huge source of motivation on a daily basis, but it’s also a collective adventure that drives me.
I’ve always been passionate about the energy and transport sectors, which play a central role in our lives, and so I focused on these themes during my academic career at the Ecole Polytechnique, then at IFP Energies Nouvelles and Ponts et Chaussées. I spent twelve years in the energy sector, working on a wide range of subjects, from infrastructure development to electricity markets, engineering and operations. In 2018, five years before I joined Chargepoly, I had the opportunity to set up a charging operator business (CPO) for a major energy company, at a time when the electric mobility sector was just starting to take off. In the space of three years, our team built up a network of over 1,500 charging points and invested heavily in the deployment of fast-charging stations.
Chargepoly has developed and marketed highly advanced technologies for high-capacity battery recharging and intelligent energy distribution. One of the company’s key assets is its total technological mastery from vehicle to grid, making it ideally placed to develop high value-added services for truck fleets (V2G, grid flexibilities, etc.) and to integrate low-carbon power generation assets.
Hadi Moussavi's bio
In 2019, I founded Chargepoly with a clear vision: rather than simply distributing the available charging power among connected electric vehicles, I wanted to create a solution that optimized this distribution. The key idea was to enable vehicles to receive the power they really need, taking into account factors such as the urgency of charging, the current level of charge, and the specific characteristics of each vehicle.
This initiative emerged from the conviction that intelligent charging planning was crucial to support the development of ultra-fast charging stations, with a focus on meeting the specific needs of truck fleet managers, mobility professionals and large public charging hubs.
My professional career can be summed up in three words: industrialist, polytechnician and polyglot. For 25 years, I worked for Air Liquide, a company where I accumulated a wealth of experience on a global scale. My time there enabled me to develop skills in the management of technological entities, as well as in finance and corporate strategy.
Chargepoly’s solution stands out for its innovative design, development and operation of ultra-fast charging stations for electric vehicles, as well as the associated services. Innovation lies in our stations’ ability to respond specifically to the needs of truck fleet managers, mobility professionals and large public charging hubs. Our advanced technology offers efficient solutions tailored to the demands of the electric mobility market.

I joined Chargepoly in 2023 to set up the North American subsidiary. My encounter with Chargepoly goes back to my previous experience at Amazon, where I was captivated by their innovative technology, which won a prestigious award at CES 2022 in the vehicle & transport intelligence category. I was deeply impressed by the company’s excellence in this field, and by joining the Chargepoly team, I sought to contribute my skills in the development of innovative products and services. My commitment to sustainable development has also found an echo at Chargepoly, where innovation is synonymous with environmental responsibility. I’m proud to contribute to the worldwide reputation of Chargepoly and French expertise in the electric mobility sector.
Before becoming CEO of Chargepoly America Corp. my career was marked by a number of enriching experiences in the field of electric transportation. I had the privilege of making a significant contribution to sustainable development initiatives at Amazon, where I led the company’s green mobility programs. During my tenure, I played a key role in the successful introduction of the first electric semi-trailers on Amazon’s logistics network in Europe.
