Thesis
Fleet electrification is accelerating but remains limited by fragmented charging infrastructure, variable charging prices, and complex operational requirements. As fleets scale electric vehicles, they need intelligence that links routing, charging, battery state, and operational constraints. With demand for electric vans and light commercial vehicles expected to grow sharply through 2030, Chargetrip is positioned to become the core optimisation layer that enables cost‑efficient and reliable fleet electrification.
Investment
Chargetrip provides an API‑based routing and charging optimization platform for electric mobility. Its technology predicts energy consumption for any EV on any route and factors in charger availability, speed, pricing, weather, traffic, and elevation. The platform serves OEMs, charge point operators, energy providers, and fleet managers, enabling accurate range prediction, real‑time insights, charging orchestration, and fleet simulation.
Outcomes
Chargetrip improves the efficiency, reliability, and economics of electric fleets, reducing operational emissions and accelerating the transition to sustainable transportation. By enabling better route planning, optimised charging, and informed fleet investment decisions, it supports the broader shift to cleaner, more resilient urban mobility systems
