The charging services, earlier developed by Mobilize Beyond Automotive, cover home, workplace and public charging.
Mobilize was established in 2021 to pursue activities beyond vehicle manufacturing, but some of its projects are being wound down due to “limited profitability prospects” or a lack of alignment with group priorities.
The electric quadricycle Duo has been discontinued, Zity’s car-sharing service in Milan has ended, and its Madrid operation will be phased out from 2026.
Mobilize Energy head Jérôme Faton told Reuters: “We are in a context of adjusting Renault’s capital allocation, the auto industry is in a difficult environment, and we have many investments to finance.”
Mobilize Beyond Automotive will no longer operate independently.
The Mobilize brand will stay in use for Mobilize Financial Services and its application to other products will be reviewed over the next few months.
Renault said its charging operations have already produced results.
Charge Pass gives the group’s drivers preferential access to over one million charging points across Europe, and the service now has close to 90,000 users.
The Mobilize Fast Charge network comprises over 60 ultra‑rapid sites in France, with plans to reach nearly 100 by end‑2026.
In Italy, it includes more than 100 locations through the Free to X network.
A commercial vehicle-to-grid (V2G) offer for private customers was introduced in France last year, and this year, a car-sharing fleet using V2G technology was introduced in the Netherlands.
