ev.energy

Founded in 2018 by Nick Woolley and Chris Darby, ev.energy embarked on a mission to simplify the electric vehicle charging experience, making it greener and more cost-effective for everyone. What began as a bootstrapped venture quickly evolved, fueled by a shared passion for harmonizing EV charging with the energy grid. The company recognized the inherent challenges EV owners faced and set out to develop a smart, cloud-based platform to automatically optimize charging. This innovative approach aimed to align charging sessions with periods of high renewable energy generation and low grid demand, thereby reducing both carbon emissions and energy costs for drivers.

The journey saw ev.energy transition from a friends-and-family backed initiative to an institutionally supported start-up, and eventually, into an organized scale-up. Along this path, the company has consistently focused on its core values of sustainability and user-centric design. Their platform ingests real-time data from various sources, employing a proprietary smart-charging algorithm to intelligently manage EV charging. This not only benefits individual drivers but also supports the stability of the broader energy grid, a critical factor as EV adoption continues to surge. ev.energy's commitment to its mission has been recognized through numerous accolades, including being named 'World's Best Energy Start-Up' in the Free Electrons programme. As a certified B Corporation, the company meets high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability, underscoring their dedication to creating a positive impact on the planet and society. With a growing team spread across Europe and North America, ev.energy continues to expand its partnerships with utilities, automotive manufacturers, and charger providers, driving towards a future where EV charging is seamlessly integrated into a cleaner energy ecosystem.
