Pitching the same script as a startup founder gets exhausting… …if you’re using the same script. Decided to have some fun today and spice it up a bit at Moderne Ventures Annual Summit, including a room full of real estate executives and strategic investors. To address the common misbelief of #EV adoption “slowing”, while keeping it upbeat and playful, I whipped out a newspaper cutout my grandma mailed me in 2019, titled “Fear and Loathing in EVs”, to emphasize how naysayers have, and always will find a way to skew data to create a negative spin in a massively disrupting market. I got a nice laugh from the audience… still unsure if it was my comment on skeptics, or the fact I still have a 5Y old newspaper cutout from my grandma 😂 🤷♂️

One out of every three charging sites is non-functioning. “Such unreliability is killing the industry.” Our co-founder and CTO, Nikhil S Bharadwaj, sat down with Ray Chalmers of Battery Technology to explain Xeal’s unique technology that guarantees 100% uptime without relying on the internet. How does it work? Xeal uses a distributed ledger technology and time-based tokens. Users download our app, get a cryptographic token on their phone, and simply touch their phone to the charger to authorize a session. This ensures reliability and enhances security by eliminating internet dependency. Check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eP8gkzgQ
