Bluedot is a single payment platform for EV drivers and fleets.
Bluedot makes EV charging payment easier and simplifies expense management for drivers and fleets. They're growing 40-45% weekly and made $110K GMV last week. Over 50% of vehicles sold will be electric by 2030. The payments management infrastructure for EV charging and the expenses doesn’t exist at the moment. The founders operated 100+ EV charging stations, worked in companies like Zipcar, Bosch, and Mercedes, and faced this problem through their own experiences. They built a team with a strong fintech background and publicly launched their Bluedot card on Dec 14th, 2022. Bluedot has raised their pre-seed from Y Combinator, Axel Springer, Porsche, Ford, TechNexus, DRF, and Pritchard Automotive.
Bluedot is a single payment platform for EV drivers and fleets that provides access to thousands of charging stations, a flat $0.30/kWh pricing, and cash back rewards. The app combines locating stations, paying for charging, and tracking spending with 24/7 support and driver-specific rewards.
Bluedot offers an all-in-one EV charging solution: a mobile app that lets users locate charging stations, pay for charging with a flat-rate price of $0.30/kWh at featured stations, and earn cash back on charging and other automotive-related purchases. Users can add money via ACH transfers, debit card funding, or ATM deposits; the platform provides real-time station availability, station cost and compatibility information, and access to a virtual card for payment without waiting for a physical card. The service includes 24/7 live chat support and a rewards program with multiple cash-back categories.
Who it’s for: EV drivers and fleets seeking a unified charging payments experience with a flat-rate pricing model and rewards.
