Ad: Partner content with Speenrgy In the rapidly evolving landscape of sustainable transportation, Latvian startup Speenrgy is emerging as a game-changer. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Riga, Speenrgy is dedicated to accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) across personal, commercial, and industrial sectors. By harnessing kinetic energy from incoming air, their groundbreaking ECO range-extender device generates clean electricity on the move, addressing key barriers like limited range, frequent charging, and battery degradation.
The Innovative Technology Powering Speenrgy
At the heart of Speenrgy's offering is the world's first ECO range-extender designed for every type of EV, from e-bikes and drones to cars, buses, trucks, eVTOLs, and even airplanes. This modular device builds on proven technologies like the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) from aviation and Micro Wind Turbines (MWT) but takes them to a new level. As the vehicle moves, it converts the kinetic energy of oncoming air into usable power, directly feeding the motor or charging the battery without relying on external stations.
Simulation of a virtual model, pre-production prototype, known as the Wind-Powered Range-Extender (WPREX), showed the possibility to generate between 2kWh and 30kWh of green electricity depending on the application. This means an impressive increase in power reserve of up to 50%, making long-haul trips more feasible and reducing the need for extensive charging infrastructure. Moreover, by minimizing battery usage, the device extends battery life, reduces vehicle weight, and simplifies disposal — tackling environmental concerns head-on.
Speenrgy's solution isn't just about efficiency; it's about sustainability. By promoting more EVs on the road, it leads to less CO2 emissions overall, while ensuring eco-friendly production and operation, and simple disposal. The company's young, progressive team is focused on eco-friendly production and operation, aligning with global goals like the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The startup has already received patents in 27 European countries, including Britain.
Achievements and Vision for the Future
Despite being a young company, Speenrgy has made significant strides. The EU-Startups directory lists it, and the startup participates in high-profile events like German-Latvian Business Day, the Latvian Dual Use Export Forum 2025, and ViennaUP— gaining real traction in Europe's innovation ecosystem. These engagements highlight Speenrgy's potential to transform industries reliant on electric mobility, from urban transport to aviation.
Led by founder Pavel Selivanav, a graduate of Vilnius Gediminas Technical University with a passion for innovation, Speenrgy is committed to solving real-world EV challenges. "Developing new technologies was a passion of mine. I am very concerned about climate change and increasing emissions every year. Later, I seriously thought about how I could influence the transition to zero emissions. I like electric transport and see great potential in it. And technology that increases range can significantly change this industry and create a breakthrough for acceleration," — noted Pavel Selivanav.
Why Speenrgy Matters for the Baltic Region and Beyond
As EVs become integral to reducing global emissions, innovations like Speenrgy's devices are crucial for overcoming adoption hurdles. By enabling charging anywhere through motion-generated energy, Speenrgy not only enhances user convenience but also supports broader economic benefits, such as lower operational costs for fleets and reduced reliance on fossil fuels.
"I believe that technology can make a significant contribution to the development of urban transport. The ability to reduce battery weight and power vehicles in motion will make their use more efficient and attractive. It will be possible to increase the number of transport and range of routes without high investments in infrastructure. For electric aviation, weight of the equipment is very important and greatly affects the flight range. Generating electricity in flight provides an alternative way to increase flight time without compromising performance, and even reduces the weight of the batteries. This is an important point for small aircraft and domestic flights. For large aircraft, it is an opportunity to create hybrid airplanes and significantly reduce emissions into the atmosphere," — explains Pavel Selivanav.
For startups in the Baltic region looking to make an impact, Speenrgy serves as an inspiring example.
