Ezvolt, established in 2019 by CEO Gustavo Tannure, is a key player in Brazil's burgeoning electromobility sector. The company operates as a Charging Point Operator (CPO), providing comprehensive solutions for electric vehicle (EV) charging across residential condominiums, commercial properties, and corporate fleets. Headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, Ezvolt has distinguished itself by pioneering the "Charge as a Service" model in Brazil, a business approach where the company manages the installation, operation, and maintenance of charging infrastructure at no initial cost to the client, generating revenue from the energy consumed during vehicle charging.
The company's offerings are segmented to meet diverse client needs. For commercial and residential buildings, Ezvolt installs and manages charging stations, allowing property managers to offer EV charging as an amenity while individual users pay per charge via a dedicated app. For corporate clients with electric fleets, the "My Fleet" solution delivers tailored hardware and software to ensure reliable charging. The service portfolio is a complete one-stop-shop, covering everything from project design to the supply of renewable energy to the vehicle's battery. Users can locate chargers and manage payments through the Ezvolt mobile app.
Ezvolt has secured significant financial backing to fuel its expansion. The company has raised a total of $2.02 million over two seed rounds, with notable investments from Vibra Energia, Brazil's largest fuel distributor. This partnership has been instrumental in scaling operations, which now span across 13 states with over 600 chargers deployed, servicing approximately 16,000 recharges monthly as of late 2023. Strategic collaborations with major companies like Burger King and JBS, and a partnership with BYD to create an extensive charging network, underscore its growing market presence. Furthermore, the company is actively involved in an innovation project with the city of Rio de Janeiro to install public charging stations and has a Verra-approved project for carbon credit generation.
