About Carla

We believe that more people should be able to drive electric cars. Therefore, we have set out to build the safest, most convenient, and most transparent way to find, get, and ultimately have, an electric car. Carla was founded in 2020, with strong VC backing and is now in an exciting growth phase to establish Carla as the market-leading “EV-companion” in Europe

Apart from that, we offer:

- A career-defining role at an early-stage startup and an opportunity to grow and learn from knowledgeable co-workers
