Low-cost, high-scale EV charging platform for apartments (and more).
EV charging infrastructure today is expensive, difficult to install, and doesn't integrate well with existing products, services, and businesses. HeyCharge solves all of these problems with ultra-low-cost, plug-and-play EV chargers that don't require internet connections and integrate with third-party products via our SDK and APIs. Our customers are energy utilities, property operators, mobility service providers, and more.
HeyCharge provides an offline-first EV charging platform designed for apartments, underground garages, and other non-wiFi environments. It enables Bluetooth-based authentication and billing with no internet connection, aiming to reduce installation costs and avoid connectivity dependencies.
The product consists of hardware components (HeyCharge Wallbox up to 22 kW, MagicBox retrofit adapters, Connect Bridge, Connect Edge Gateway, SecureCharge Module) and software (Charge Point Management System, HeyCharge App, SDK/API) that together enable offline Bluetooth-based charging, local user authentication, and later cloud synchronization when connectivity returns. It supports retrofit to existing OCPP chargers, dynamic load management, energy management, and auditable session data with Stripe billing when online. It also provides roaming payments and offline roaming capabilities with partners, and a platform that can be deployed as HeyCharge-operated turnkey CPO services or as an OEM platform via APIs/SDK.
Who it’s for: Property owners and managers (apartment buildings, multi-family housing), charge point operators (CPOs), fleet operators, hotels and hospitality, retail, and commercial real estate owners who require offline, reliable EV charging without internet dependence.
Hiring/traction mentions (deployment and partnerships) and multiple case studies; 700+ chargers deployed, 135+ sites live, 2,000+ spaces prewired, 1.5 GWh energy delivered; partnerships and case studies indicate commercial traction.
Experience at Google, Mercedes-Benz, E.ON Energy, and at the UC Davis Hybrid Electric Vehicle Center. Experienced product and engineering leader and executive. I love dogs. And airplanes.
From the very beginning of my career in 2005, I have been in charge to deliver end-to-end innovations around connected, shared and electric mobility. Being responsible for designing mobility concepts, assessing latest technology trends, and creating long-term go-to-market strategies within the smart mobility eco-system got me excited to start an own venture. And here I am - really happy to be part of HeyCharge’s journey!
