Swedish EV e-commerce company Carla has raised €19 million in a fresh round of investment.
Founded by Patrik Illerstig and Niklas Jungegård in 2021, the electric vehicle marketplace raised €10 million in funding.
Since then, the Nordic e-commerce company for electric cars has grown at a rapid pace with an annual turnover rate of over €55 million.
The company promises pick-up and delivery of an electric vehicle sold on its platform within 72 hours nationwide.
It offers ’bonnet to boot coverage’, including service, full insurance, winter and summer tires, and vehicle tax.
The money raised will be used to boost international expansion, product development, increased capacity for deliveries, repair of cars, and development of aftermarket services.
The funding was led by Bonnier Ventures, with participation from investors, including Inbox Capital, Black Ice, and VNV Global.
This investment brings total funding to date to €32 million.
