GoPlugable

Airbnb for private EV charging connecting EV drivers with homes and businesses in their neighbourhood. This will help EV drivers without access to EV charging find and book slow EV chargers in their area and help more people switch to electric. GoPlugable is on a mission to create World’s largest EV charging network by connecting home and business chargers to a private peer-to-peer network. This helps users without access to home chargers to switch to electric cars and also creates alternative base charging options for public charging, thus reducing the stress on public infrastructure. Our team stands out due to a unique combination of expertise, innovation, and community focus. Led by Maebh Reynolds, with her engineering background and strategic insight, and Andrine Mendez, known for his marketing acumen and entrepreneurial success, our leadership is both visionary and grounded. CEO Maebh Reynolds is a master's graduate in mechanical engineering with experience at Danfoss Power Solutions. Known for her contributions to EV and green mobility, she oversees customer journeys, sales, and operations. Co-founder Andrine Mendez, our CMO with 15+ years in marketing and a successful startup exit, brought the initial idea for GoPlugable. His role focuses on customer acquisition and product strategy. GoPlugable targets a £20 billion EV charging Total Addressable Market (TAM), expected to grow to £302 billion globally by 2032. We are aiming for a £396 million Serviceable Available Market (SAM) and initially focusing on a £144 million Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM). Positioned in a market with a 31% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next decade, GoPlugable is set to capture a significant share, offering substantial revenue and impact potential for our startup. GoPlugable differentiates itself in the competitive EV charging market by specializing in slow charging, unlike major providers like Tesla, BP Pulse, or Shell. Our direct competitors include Co-charger, EV Match, Joosup, Monta, and Fuuse, who offer similar services. Indirect competitors such as JustPark, Zapmap, and Plugshare list various EV charging options. Our unique selling point (USP) is our network of both business and residential slow charging points that are bookable and cost-effective compared to fast chargers. Additionally, our platform enables businesses to advertise directly to EV drivers, enhancing their visibility and customer engagement. GoPlugable has achieved notable growth with 120 host users and 450 chargee users. We've launched a successful B2B pilot in July 2024, securing our first B2B customer. Additionally, strategic partnerships with brands like Ohme, Myenergi, and SSE Airtricity have strengthened our go-to-market strategy. Overall, the platform has surpassed 1,200 downloads, demonstrating robust engagement and expanding our reach in the EV charging market. These developments are supported by £157,000 in equity-free funding and six industry awards, highlighting our innovative approach and potential within the sector.
