With its Future Trophies, Europe 1 rewards companies, associations or local authorities each year for their audacity, their innovation and their visionary side.

In the running for the Mobility Trophy, Gulplug, which is developing Selfplug®, a new electric charging station for cars. 

Selfplug® is a 100% automatic and magnetic charging system for electric vehicles developed by the Grenoble start-up Gulplug.

A magnetic socket located under the vehicle unwinds to a connected base.

When it's time to get back in the car, the plug unplugs and rolls up inside.

A 100% magnetic connection solution for electric cars.

A great benefit for the user who has the guarantee that his car is charged and can drive in town in a 100% carbon-free way.

With Gluplug, it's very simple, everything is automatic. 

Eight major global automakers interested

For Henri Trintignac, CEO of Gulplug: "By automating charging, there are no more range problems, no more charging chores and this is of interest to car manufacturers. We are currently in discussions with eight of the ten largest car manufacturers in the world", explains he.

Today, 1% of vehicles in Europe are electric.

This share could increase to a quarter or even a third in fifteen years.

Gulplug, with Selfplug®, could thus convince all those who have not yet done so, to go electric.
