ENTREPRENEURIAL TEAM:
Voltaage's founders possess complementary and extensive expertise across EV charging, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology, data-driven pricing, and EV fleet management, acquired with over 5 years of consulting for Accenture and Reply. This experience, cultivated before founding Voltaage, has given them a profound understanding of the barriers that have slowed EV adoption and the transition to zero-emission transportation worldwide.
The CTO, Domenico Scalera, a seasoned Software Engineer and 2nd time founder, developed the software managing one of the largest V2G infrastructures in the world for Stellantis and Engie, back in 2020, when this technology was still in its infancy.
The CEO, Francesco Semeraro, who holds a Master's degree in Business, spearheaded the development of a software solution for data-driven pricing for Enel-X-Way, one of the world's largest EV Charge Point Operators.
The COO, Edoardo Carlevaris, an Industrial Engineer, led the development of a custom EV fleet management software for Eurovia, which operates a fleet of over 80,000 vehicles globally.
SOLUTION/PRODUCT
Charge Point Operators (CPOs), who install and operate EV charging stations, lack the data and analytics tools to install charge points where people really need them. Once the charge points are installed, they are unable to implement dynamic pricing to efficiently distribute users across their network and enhance charging point utilization.
Voltaage leverages the power of data to help Charge Point Operators maximize EV charging stations use rate & ROI. Our AI-driven platform collects & analyzes data from thousands of EV chargers & electric vehicles to identify optimal charging sites and adjust prices to encourage usage during low-demand, low-cost periods.
By making public EV charging profitable for CPOs, we make it available to everyone, especially in neglected rural areas, to accelerate the transition to zero emission transportation.

BUSINESS MODEL
Voltaage generates revenue through a flexible pricing model that charges Charge Point Operators (CPOs):
Monthly Fee: $10 per charger per month.
Transaction Fee: 5% fee applied to all charging sessions.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE:
Voltaage has developed a novel method to capture proprietary data on a large scale, addressing the current and future EV charging needs of companies and their employees within a given territory. We provide a freemium fleet electrification diagnostic, planning, and management platform to SMEs, helping them comply with regulations, save on fuel costs, and reduce investment in proprietary charging infrastructure.
In return, Voltaage collects and anonymizes data, which is then used to improve on-road charging infrastructure where these drivers live and operate. Our platform is willingly distributed by CPOs to businesses in their territories, as CPOs seek more data and offer valuable services to these companies. This win-win scenario generates a powerful network effect that can be replicated across regions and states. The more data Voltaage collects, the better its ML model becomes, enhancing its ability to do recommendations, ROI estimation, and dynamic pricing models. The power of Voltaage is in the data it collects and its ability to read that data. Today, our advanced data analytics tells CPOs exactly where to install and how to optimize pricing with precision, but this is just the beginning.
