Company Description:
Kiwi Charge is looking to accelerate the deployment of EV charging infrastructure by eliminating the cost-prohibitive initial infrastructure costs. We are reimagining the charging experience through our Charging-as-a-Service model. We specifically help EV owners in existing buildings that lack the charging infrastructure due to high retrofit costs and low EV adoption. We bring the charger to them. As EV adoption increases in these buildings, we are developing an autonomous charger that can navigate the parking lot and charge multiple vehicles without any human intervention. At Kiwi Charge, we are building the technology to ensure EV charging is accessible to all.
