.electric Domain Registration
Why Choose a .electric Domain?
The .electric extension is one of the brand-themed new gTLDs delegated by ICANN as part of the namespace expansion that began in 2014. It speaks directly to anything powered, charged, or wired — from EV infrastructure to electricians, electronic music labels, and energy-tech startups. Because the string is a real English word rather than an abbreviation, a .electric address reads naturally and tells visitors exactly what sector you operate in before they've even loaded the page.
Ideal for:
- Electricians, electrical contractors, and trade firms
- EV charging networks and electric vehicle startups
- Renewable energy companies and battery storage providers
- Electronic music producers, DJs, and labels
- Manufacturers of appliances, lighting, and consumer electronics
Things to know:
- Unrestricted — anyone, anywhere can register a .electric domain without industry credentials.
- Some short, generic, or high-demand terms (e.g. car.electric, london.electric) are reserved as premium names by the registry and carry higher one-off pricing.
- Standard new gTLD policies apply, including ICANN's 60-day transfer lock after registration and the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy (UDRP).

Frequently asked questions about .electric
Anyone. The .electric registry operates an unrestricted policy, so individuals and businesses anywhere in the world can register a name without proving they work in the electrical, energy, or automotive sectors. You don't need to be a qualified electrician or run an EV company — registrations are open on a first-come, first-served basis.
You can register a .electric domain for between one and ten years in single-year increments, which is the standard term range for ICANN-accredited new gTLDs. You can renew at any point during the registration to extend the expiry date, and we'll send reminders well before your renewal is due.
Yes. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, request the EPP authorisation code, and start the transfer with us. The domain must be at least 60 days old and not within 60 days of a previous transfer. A successful transfer usually adds one extra year to the registration term.
After expiry the domain enters a roughly 30-day grace period during which you can renew at the standard price. It then moves into a 30-day redemption phase where recovery is possible but carries a substantial registry fee. After that it's deleted and released for anyone to register, so don't rely on the redemption window.
Yes. The registry classifies certain short, generic, or commercially valuable terms as premium names, which carry a higher registration fee and often a higher renewal fee. Our domain search will flag any premium pricing on the names you check, so there are no surprises at checkout.
