Chargetrip is the world's leading Smart EV Routing platform. We make EV-driving and -charging seamless, reduce operational costs, and unlock new business models. Our customers are CPOs (e.g. EnBW, Recharge, EDP, Iberdrola), Fleet Operators (e.g. Total), OEMs (e.g. Porsche), Telematics providers (e.g. Autosense), and Mobility ServiceProviders (e.g. Elbil, ANWB). They use our Routing-API to power solutions for individual EV-drivers and EV-fleets; owned, leased, rented, shared, and autonomous.Our routing engine uses over 15 different (dynamic) variables to calculate the real-time range of any EV (currently 260+ EV models). Proprietary algorithms then compute the best route from A, to B (to C, to D) with the optimal charge stations in between; specific to that vehicle, to that journey, business logic, and fleet specs. Build-in predictive models optimize for total travel-time and travel-costs. Chargetrip’s API is easy to integrate into existing charge-, navigation-, Fleet operating, and telematics applications. On average, over 175.000 EV drivers use our software every month; equal to 10% of all EV’s in Europe. | $10.8M / Series A / Mar 17, 2023 | |
