- Maxi Mobility
Participated · Equity · Jul 2025
Maxi Mobility offers an all-inclusive subscription model for taxi drivers and corporate urban fleets, bundling electric vehicle leasing with unlimited charging, fleet management software, and 24/7 driver support. The service is designed to remove upfront cost barriers, charging complexity, and operational inefficiencies that hinder EV adoption. Founded in 2021, the company currently operates in Milan and Rome and targets the more than 13,000 active taxi licences across those cities. Maxi Mobility plans to use new funding to scale operations in Milan and Rome, further develop its proprietary digital platform, and expand charging infrastructure at strategic urban locations. The company also aims to begin expanding into selected European markets where demand for electrified professional fleets is growing, supported by local regulations and incentives. With a tailored model for professional drivers, Maxi positions itself as a key enabler of the electric transition in cities under regulatory pressure to cut emissions.
