Facilitating the transition to electric power: DRIVECO’s challenge

Find out more about Ion Leahu-Aluas, CEO of DRIVECO and entrepreneur committed to the energy transition.

“I was determined to be part of this mobility revolution.” Born in Romania, Ion Leahu-Aluas grew up in the United States. A few years later, he continued his engineering studies in France, and although this stay was initially intended to last only a few months, Ion settled there permanently.

It all began on the roads of Corsica over 10 years ago. At the time, the engineer was involved in the construction of a photovoltaic power plant. During a car journey, he experienced a breakdown and realized the absurdity of the situation.

“There was an abundance of solar energy available, but my vehicle was completely immobilized. I realized just how much our dependence on fossil fuels was both practical and ecological nonsense. I was convinced that the future would undoubtedly be renewable and electric.”

In 2014, he joined DRIVECO as CEO, a solar-powered electric recharging project founded by Corsica Sole. Now a leader in electric mobility and the first charging network in France open to the public, DRIVECO’s mission is to decarbonize mobility.
