Sean Burke
Sean Burke is the CEO and co-founder of Enteligent, a Morgan Hill, California clean-energy hardware company building what it calls the world's first solar-powered DC-to-DC EV charger. Before starting Enteligent in 2020, Burke spent more than two decades as an executive at HP, Dell, Flex, Nortek, Katerra and AMD, working on early notebook computers and the first dual-screen Android phone, and leading product teams credited with 260-plus patents. At Enteligent he is trying to strip the wasteful conversion steps out of charging by keeping power in DC form from solar panel to car battery.
Oyika
Oyika is a Singapore-based Battery-as-a-Service company that runs a network of automated battery-swapping stations for electric motorbikes across Southeast Asia. Riders subscribe to a plan and swap a depleted battery for a fully charged one in under a minute, removing the two biggest barriers to EV adoption: long charging times and the high upfront cost of a battery. Its bike-agnostic, IoT-connected batteries also double as portable power for off-grid communities. Backed by Banpu NEXT and Yinson, Oyika operates in Indonesia, Cambodia, Malaysia and Thailand.
Swap Energi
Swap Energi is an Indonesian e-mobility startup that runs Southeast Asia's largest battery-swapping network for electric motorcycles. Instead of waiting to charge, riders exchange a depleted portable lithium-ion battery for a fully charged one at more than 1,500 stations - a process that takes roughly nine seconds. The company pairs this energy network with its own SMOOT smart electric motorcycles and a rider app, and has raised about US$29 million to electrify Indonesia's fleet of over 125 million two-wheelers.
EVmatch
EVmatch is a California-based cleantech company that builds software and services to make electric-vehicle charging affordable, shared, and reservable - especially for the hardest places to electrify, like apartment complexes, condos, and commercial properties. Founded out of a UC Santa Barbara master's thesis, the company began as a peer-to-peer marketplace letting home charger owners rent out their stations and has grown into a full EV charging management platform that pairs reservation software, load management, and rebate-navigation services so property owners can deploy charging without straining budgets.
Monterra
Monterra is a San Francisco software startup building design and planning tools for the people who physically install EV chargers. Its platform lets charging contractors design site layouts on satellite imagery, model costs in real time, and auto-generate customer-ready proposals, bills of materials, and electrical schematics - collapsing a process that used to take weeks of engineering and tool-hopping into minutes. Founded in 2022 by David Kim and Kelson Reiss, the company raised a $2.5M pre-seed round led by Base10 Partners in November 2023 to help cut the 'soft costs' that slow down America's charging buildout.
L-Charge
L-Charge designs, manufactures, and operates scalable off-grid ultrafast EV charging solutions. Using modular power units that run on natural gas, renewable natural gas, and other low-carbon fuels, the company delivers Charging-as-a-Service to commercial fleets, ports, airports, school districts, and construction sites - bypassing utility queues and grid bottlenecks.
Merge Electric Fleet Solutions
Merge Electric Fleet Solutions is a Houston-based company that gives commercial fleets a clear, affordable, data-driven path to going electric. Launched in 2021 by EV industry veteran Glen Stancil and backed by Pickering Energy Partners, Merge handles the full journey - analyzing which vehicles to electrify, designing and deploying charging infrastructure, and operating it - through products like EV360 fleet analysis, PowerRail modular charging, and the all-inclusive FleetScription EV subscription. The pitch is simple: electrification simplified.
Glen Stancil
Glen Stancil is the founder and CEO of Merge Electric Fleet Solutions, a Houston-based company that helps fleet operators go electric without the headaches. A co-founder of EVgo and founder of eMotive Solutions, he has spent a decade in vehicle electrification, with his teams deploying more than 1,500 charging sites across 40 states and roughly $300 million in EV infrastructure. He pairs an electrical engineering degree from UT Austin with a Stanford MBA, and earlier did stints at McKinsey, NRG Energy and Reliant Energy. Launched in 2021 with backing from Pickering Energy Partners, Merge raised a Series A in December 2021 to make fleet electrification simple, affordable and scalable.
