eIQ Mobility is an early stage startup motivated to accelerate the electrification of fleet vehicles. During our incubation we executed 250+ customer interviews to understand their pain in moving to electric vehicles. Our initial product, the electrification planning and decision platform we call EValuate, is a direct outcome of those interviews. Our longer term vision is to provide fleet electrification as a service, allowing our customers to move to zero-emissions with zero risk. We are very proud to have received initial seed funding from Schneider Electric Ventures.
