Other fleets like delivery companies have been adopting the app, Dias said, even if they have chargers at their depots. “Sometimes the chargers at the depot don’t work or there are more vehicles than chargers,” he said.
Presto’s main goal is to drive API integration, though, encouraging fleets to add the startup’s recommendations inside their own apps and dashboards. “I don’t think we want consumers to have yet another app to download,” Dias said.
Raynor said the company has been approached by major automakers, but for now it’s focused on fleets. As someone who has had their share of bad charging experiences, I hope that changes soon.
