Time2Plug would like to put under the spotlight four innovative companies that we discovered in 2022. They all deal with various subjects: smart charging, electric fleet optimization, electric consumption efficiency, and electric vehicle’s maintenance. Find out about Tilt, Nelson, Bia, and Revolte: our 2022 electric mobility startup revelations!

The rise of electric vehicles will not only increase the global need in electricity but will also add another component to an already complex electric grid: charging stations. Therefore, optimizing the flux between all these elements in order to lower the amount of energy losses is a major endeavor.
Tilt is addressing this challenge, on a company-large scale, where several components that produce, store and consume energy are present.
Tilt, a startup co-founded by a complementary team, is aiming towards the decarbonation of electricity. Romain, CEO of Tilt, is an engineer and graduate from the University of Columbia in energy and AI. Thanks to its intelligent electric consumption management platform, Tilt provides an effective solution for companies that face an increasing complexity within their electrical systems. Indeed, the market is experiencing the rise of electric vehicles, solar panels, heat pumps and so on… As such, Tilt synchronizes all the energetic elements in order to redirect the flow between all components in the most effective manner. As a result, companies benefit from a reduced energy bill and carbon footprint. Tilt is actively recruiting in 2023! Find out more on their website!
Guillaume, COO of Tilt, is a HEC and Polytechnique graduate. Altogether, they have a combined 12 years of experience in the department of energy, tech, and AI.
Nelson

In order to match their CSR pledges, and to participate in the collective effort of decarbonizing our transportation system, companies are increasingly turning towards electrifying their fleets. This process requires mastering a brand new ecosystem where liters become kWh, and simple gas stations turn into complex charge maps… Several decisions are to be undertaken, which can lead to as many errors.
Within that context, Nelson’s mission is to accompany companies in this crucial and complex step: the electrification of their fleet of vehicles.
First and foremost, Nelson is a team of 4 engineers, passionate about the energy transition and data science. After graduating from Polytechnique and SupAero, they directed themselves towards the world of entrepreneurship by enrolling in the X-HEC Entrepreneurs Master’s and an acceleration program at UC Berkeley. Determined to put their technical skills at the service of the ecological transition, they witnessed how difficult it was for companies to electrify their fleet. Nelson is a software that assists companies throughout their decision making process towards electrifying their fleet (number of vehicles to replace, charging stations to install etc…) thanks to data science and AI. The young startup is already working hand in hand with important clients such as Free or KONE. Nelson’s ambition is to make companies’ fleets more durable, affordable, and optimized.

Bia

The upcoming massive electrification of fleets is bound to increase the global demand for electricity. Not only will companies’ electrical requirements grow, but the kWh’s price will climb as well. Hence, optimizing the electrical consumption becomes a key challenge to reduce companies’ electric bills. Furthermore, it generates corollary benefits on a national/international level as it reduces the global load on the electric grid.
Bia was created in that regard: to accelerate the electrification of fleets from the charging perspective via a cloud solution of energy optimisation.
