BUILDING
TOMORROW'S
ENERGY INTERNET

DeCharge is a Colosseum-backed Solana startup revolutionizing EV charging infrastructure. In a world where EV adoption outpaces charging availability, we're bridging the gap through decentralized community ownership.

The Origin Story

All startups start with the most visceral problems we face in our day to day lives. So did Decharge. One day, our CEO Mohan was out buying his own EV and in conversation with the car dealership realised there is a huge gap in the market for EV Charging infrastructure. EVs were being subsidised and pushed to consumers - but no one had thought about the scale of infrastructure required to make EVs mainstream.

A few conversations later, DeCharge was born to solve this. To make EV Charging ubiquitous and create a new model that puts the community and the centre of scaling this vision. A model where those community members that deploy their own chargers get rewarded in real revenue for offering their infrastructure for use by everyday EV vehicle users.

The 2030 Vision

In the long term the vision for DeCharge is to lay the foundation for scalable, community-owned energy infrastructure that benefits hosts, users, and the broader DePIN ecosystem. And one that powers not just EVs but one that will serve future autonomous systems, from drones to robots and more.

EV Charging is just the beginning. We're building the layer for the energy internet of tomorrow.
