🚀 New Investment Alert! 🚀 We're thrilled to announce our latest investment in BaTTeRi, a groundbreaking company addressing a critical challenge in the electric vehicle (EV) market. As the adoption of EVs accelerates, the demand for efficient and accessible charging infrastructure has never been greater. However, high capital expenditure and electricity grid limitations are slowing down progress, especially in large parking lots where hundreds of EVs await charging. Many potential EV users face the issue of lacking home charging stations, making public charging solutions essential. Enter BaTTeRi with a unique solution: Thomas, an innovative charging robot that will revolutionize the EV charging experience. With BaTTeRi ’s solution, whenever an EV enters a parking lot, it is automatically recognized, categorized, and prioritized. Throughout the day, a fleet of BaTTeRi ’s robots ensures all vehicles are charged and ready to go in a sequence determined by a multitude of variables. This seamless and hassle-free process benefits both EV owners and parking lot operators. Despite still being in development, BaTTeRi has already secured multiple paid pilots and pre-commercial engagements, showcasing the significant potential of their technology. BaTTeRi was our winner in this year’s #climate_solution_prize in partnership with Startup Nation Central and has now become ESIL’s 13th portfolio company! Welcome aboard, Tomer Shahaf, Ram Rotbart, and the entire BaTTeRi team!
