Our take
People around the world are beginning to switch from diesel and petrol to electric vehicles, but cutting-edge technology does have pitfalls. Charging stations can be scarce and it can be difficult to find out which stations nearby are available, which can be risky for electric vehicle owners and ultimately prevents many people from making the switch.
Elvah provides a mobile app for locating electric vehicle charge points, leveraging live data driven by community feedback to help users find suitable stations. The service is integrated within the charging stations it provides and operates based on a monthly energy subscription, also giving users the option to get e-car breakdown assistance and onward travel insurance.
While the number of electric vehicle charging points across the world is increasing rapidly every day, Elvah has been wise to identify that the problem is often not just finding one, but finding a suitable one. Its approach has clearly made an impression, as utilities giant E.ON acquired the company in 2023. Together with E.ON, so says CEO Gowrynath Sivaganeshamoorthy, Elvah will "further develop the platform and make charging e-cars even easier and more reliable."
