Alpha Grid makes EV charging infrastructure financeable. Because charging revenue is hard to predict, developers struggle to raise capital for new sites. Alpha Grid analyzes data across power systems, real estate, and transportation to forecast how a site will perform, then structures financial products that turn that forecast into predictable returns, opening up institutional investment for charging and energy storage projects.

Notable Achievements

  • Raised $58M debt facility for EV charging infrastructure.
  • Founding team led AI and product for Google X's electric grid moonshot.
  • Engineered the first EV revenue hedge to make merchant charging bankable.

Currently Operating in 108 Regions
