The Beginning of ChargeNChill
In 2026, Ali founded ChargeNChill in Cagliari with a simple idea: nobody should have to stop their day because their phone battery is empty.
ChargeNChill runs smart power-bank rental stations. Rent a charged power bank in seconds, keep it with you while you move, and return it at any other station in the network.
It is built for residents, tourists, students and professionals who need reliable charging while travelling, working or simply enjoying the city.
Our Vision
ChargeNChill started in Cagliari and is building a growing network across Sardinia. The long-term plan is to expand throughout Italy and Europe into one connected, accessible power-bank rental network.
We want portable charging to be simple, affordable and available everywhere — through a reusable system that cuts unnecessary electronic purchases and waste.
