Some sideas tart with a specific need in the market and end up building something much bigger than they originally imagined. That’s the story behind Instant Technology, a company that began by installing electric vehicle charging points and eventually turned the technology developed through that experience into its flagship product: a SaaS platform designed to make EV charging installations easier and more efficient across Europe.
We spoke with the team about their journey, why Barcelona is the right place to grow a company with European ambitions, and what being part of the MOB community brings to their day-to-day work.
What does Instant Technology do?
We install and manage electric vehicle charging points. Over time, we turned that experience into a SaaS platform with an additional service layer that helps other installation companies, brands and manufacturers offer seamless installations across Europe.
What has been your biggest achievement so far?
Moving from being an installation company to becoming a technology platform without losing the trust of our customers.
Today, we have more than 400 Google reviews with an average rating of 4.8. We also managed to launch our business model in Italy in just three months, which was a major milestone for us.
Why Barcelona?
Barcelona is a cosmopolitan city that’s open to the world. It gives us access to top talent, particularly people with a startup mindset. It’s the ideal environment for building a technology product with European ambitions, and it’s also home for us.
The city also maintains strong connections with Latin America, a region we know well and believe has enormous potential.
Why did you choose MOB as your workspace?
Because it gives us the best of both worlds: our own private office, where we can build and develop our company culture, within a lively space full of people who are eager to create and make things happen.
What does being part of the MOB community bring to your company?
Energy, connections and perspective.
Being surrounded by other teams and founders inspires us, opens doors and helps us maintain the momentum of a fast-growing startup. It’s valuable to be part of an environment where people are constantly building, sharing ideas and creating new opportunities.
Is there a story or something about the company you’d like to share?
We come from the automotive industry, where we witnessed the transformation towards electric vehicles. During that process, we realised there was a gap in the market: people needed a comprehensive solution for installing charging points at home.
We started out installing the chargers ourselves. The technology we developed to make those installations more efficient eventually became our flagship product: our SaaS platform.
In a way, the solution we originally built to improve our own operations ended up becoming the foundation of the company we are today.
