We are a B2B company so we charge the service provider that wants to use Telematica to connect their end users EV. I did not understand your second question, who does "they" refer to?
Yes, range anxiety should not be an issue for personal use, but you could still save money on your home charging costs by participating in demand response programmes offered by your utility or by using a smart charging app.
Thanks for sharing this. Smartcar was not funded by YC. And as I have replied below we have a different take on connected cars.
Currently, we charge $0.25 per EV connected per month with upto 10,000 API calls allowed per month.
Yes, we are developing integrations for both of these brands. Could you please share your email address so that I can keep you updated once we've built them?
We appear to have made kilometres the default unit. For EVs in the United States, we'll modify it to miles. Thanks!
Exactly, we act as a bridge between the EV owner and the third party apps. We rely on the EV owner's consent to share their data with a service of their choice.
I don't think so. We have a very different take on connected cars. We are 100% EV focussed and are building tools on top of the car API to solve actual EV challenges like range anxiety and charging management that were absent in ICE vehicles!
Actually, we help EV owners share their vehicle data (that is locked inside the car dashboard or the OEM mobile app) with third party service providers like e-mobility apps, auto insurance companies or utilities.
Our car API is similar to what Smartcar does but we are 100% focussed on EVs. On top of the EV API we are also building tools for smart charging, dynamic load balancing and charging scheduling for fleets. We are compatible across the US and Europe.
