As electric vehicles (EVs) become more popular, finding and filling available charging units is increasingly challenging for drivers and properties alike. Here’s why: 1. Low Turnover: Drivers leave their cars at chargers long after they’re fully charged, limiting charger availability and reducing turnover. 2. Limited Access: Over 32% of U.S. residents in multifamily housing have minimal or no access to on-site EV charging. 3. Underutilized Infrastructure: Some properties over-install chargers to meet peak demand, resulting in high upfront costs and idle infrastructure during off-peak hours. This week’s company, @Breathe_EV, founded by Max Bregman and Tony Manjooran, is a reservation-based electric vehicle (EV) charging system and app that improves access for drivers and boosts reliability and revenue for properties. Think of BreatheEV as the “Airbnb for EV Charging,” where users book their charging spot ahead of time, optimizing usage just as Airbnb maximizes room occupancy.
