Presto builds a strip for home charging

The charging of an electric vehicle in society can be the best or worst.

A home driver can be loaded smoothly on the road 20 minutesHowever, they can encounter broken charger, unresponsive touch screen and blocked stalls that they can do disappointing.

Daily can be a headache for consumers. A charger for the charger for fleet or walking is losing money.

These disappointments wanted Ashwin Dias and JJ Raynor to leave their work in Uber, where drivers’ drivers took advantage of drivers, and they will start Prestoan app that points to the best charging devices to flow drivers.

“We think that the Uber’s background is a dynamic market that we can help you make everything fit for different requirements with different requirements,” Raynor said. It can wait 30 minutes to open a cheaper charger when faster and more reliable, but reliable, but reliable, but reliable, but delicate drivers.

Presto has recently raised the $ 15 million seed tour led by square institutions, and the company just spoke to TechCrunch. The round also includes investment in regulated enterprises, reactive and electricity enterprises.

The team begins with partial fleets for many miles.

“Uber drivers, which are 40 hours a week, electrify and affect, E-filter,” Dias, the CEO of Start said.

The duet lobbied Uber to resolve the issue in the driver’s app, but it really realized that it was not resolved by a company.

This is partly due to the distribution of companies installing and working on charger stalls.

“Recharge is more split in the United States,” Raynor said. Last year, about 60% of the fast charger of the new DC in the United States came from more than 40 different networks. “We went to people we never heard of three or four big players,” he said.

Both sides of the equation feel the pain of this split.

Donanes can be connected directly to the software of direct charging networks, but do not want to support a API for the charging networks or hundreds of customers. On the flip side, the milkers do not want to connect with an increasing number of charging networks.

Presto’s program is something both parties can join. It provides a partner to work with a classic platform game – a partner of fleet and charging networks – a partner – a classic platform game.

“In some senses, we think of ourselves as a strip, as it is a layer of surgery to charge.”

Starting, which companies offer API to which companies can integrate; Can also handle payments.

Mixed, the machine learning recommendation provides a number of information to strengthen the engine recommendation of drivers who must direct the drivers and network repair groups to use the engine. For example, a network says a charger is online. Presto drivers can remove this stall and can report the problem to the network.

Rental is a preston’s platform, including automotive companies, Hertz, Avis and Zipcar. Uber drivers also use the application that warns networks offering discounted charges.

Other fleets such as delivery companies accept the app, even if they are dias, dias and charging devices. “Sometimes the warehouse’s charger does not work or have more vehicles than charger,” he said.

The main purpose of the preston is to manage the API integration, although fleets encourage them to add startup recommendations within their application and dashboard. “I do not think that consumers want another application to download,” he said.

Raynor said the company was approached by the main cars, but it was directed to fleets at the moment. As someone with a share Bad charging practicesI hope it changes soon.
