Aslak needed charging the company car to be simple. Elton became the solution.

When Elevate Ocean AS started up, there was a lot to handle and figure out, and he needed to dedicate as much time as possible to get the business up and running. The last thing he needed while driving to new places every day to do research was to search for charging stops, fiddle with thousands of apps, and set aside hours to sort out expenses. He quickly discovered that if the job required driving, it also required a charging solution.

"So I had been driving up and down the coast all month, and then I had to deal with expenses. I forgot where I had charged, where I had paid with what, I had to check logs in online banking and then go into apps, save receipts, set up expenses and all that. Hours went by, and my joy of life just drained away. That's when I realized I needed a way to make all this as simple as possible," explains Aslak Heining when we ask why he chose Elton.

Doesn't want to think about charging

Elevate Ocean first started as Pure Lobster AS, and the goal is sustainable shellfish farming, with a focus on animal welfare. The last thing Aslak thought about when he and four study buddies dreamed big during their studies was electric car charging. That's why it was important for him that the business solution allows him to charge where he needs it, and that the payment is as simple as it can be. "I mean, we're a startup, we work with innovation. We set high standards for ourselves, and we can't afford support systems or solutions that don't make everyday life easier. Elton was just simple, simple, simple. That was the most important thing for me in the beginning, and it's just as true today."

Charge where you are

The days are sporadic for a startup, and sometimes he ended up in completely different places than he had planned in the morning. But with a charging map and navigation function in the app, he always finds a charger, no matter where in the country he has to drive. "I was sitting in the car once and hadn't thought about charging at all. Had been driving all day, talking to people, checking locations, then I discovered that, oops, the car is almost empty now. That's when I was glad I had Elton. I found a station in the app, navigated there, and the charging went as always. Then I forgot all about charging right after. That's what's nice about such a solution."
