Program Manager

ev.energy set up in 2018 with a simple aim -  to make electric vehicle charging simpler greener and cheaper for everyone. Drivers download our app and charge their vehicle overnight; and in the background we’re ingesting real-time data and using our proprietary smart-charging algorithm to align charging sessions with energy from renewable sources. This reduces carbon emissions caused by EV charging by as much as 70%.

This is a growing industry with growing demand for our solution - a third of new cars by 2030 will be electric. Simultaneously there’s increasing strain on the power grid (power outages have already jumped by 64% in the last decade in the USA). We are already working with over 30 utilities in the US Canada and Europe offering a way to reduce demand on the grid.

To achieve this we’ve brought together a team of over 100 people bringing expertise from previous roles at National Grid Tesla Amazon Arcadia and Chargepoint; we’ve secured over 50m USD from leading VCs in the automotive and energy space including National Grid Partners WEX Venture Capital Energy Impact Partners and JLR’s InMotion Ventures. Come help us drive change for the better.
