Find profitable sites for EV charging stations

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build a platform that analyzes data to identify the most profitable spots for installing EV charging stations. Our product aggregates energy market, location, and usage data to help companies pick sites that maximize returns.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Paris, Île-de-France, France, and the company is based remotely across this region. After YC, we plan to remain based in Paris while working remotely.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Paris is where we live and work. The region has a growing EV market and relevant data sources, making it the natural base for our company.
