Editor's Notes
Energy bills have become too complex for a homeowner to really understand on their own. Homes now generate electricity on the roof, consume twice as much energy as they did 30 years ago, and they have devices, like car chargers, that can be programmed to use electricity at cheapest times, but good luck programming them, because electricity rates look like this
You pay for electricity based on *when* you use it, not just how much. It matters what hour, day, and season you use your electricity.
On top of that, there are 3-6 different rates to choose from. Americans are wasting energy by choosing the wrong electricity rate and using their energy-intensive devices at the wrong times.
Today, $500M is wasted by Americans on their energy bills and it’s expected to climb to 2B by 2024. That’s not too surprising if you understand the energy industry.
We fix that. We analyze and forecast energy to select the right rate, switch them to the right rate, and enable energy devices to programmed to use energy when that rate is cheapest. As an example, we can save new EV owners in the bay area almost $1000 per year.
The same way that Nest revolutionized thermostats by using smart software to optimize the climate
We’re revolutionizing energy-intensive devices to optimize electricity cost. Things like car chargers, batteries and hot water heaters. Our service is licensed and built into products like these.
We are engineers from great schools, combined we have almost a decade of startup and energy modeling experience.
In a little over a year, we’ve earned $250k in revenue using this technology and we have 11 electric vehicle manufacturers active in our pipeline.
