About Elvah

Elvah is an innovative startup focused on simplifying and improving the charging experience for electric vehicle drivers in Germany and Europe. Founded in spring 2020 by Gowrynath Sivaganeshamoorthy, Sören Ziems, and Wilfried Röper, elvah emerged from the consulting agency "kreait," which had previously worked for over 10 years with renowned clients such as ProSieben Sat.1, GQ, Sport1, and eBay. The Corona crisis led to a reorientation, and the founders saw their opportunity to advance electromobility and renewable energies.

Key Products and Services

edit

Elvah offers a comprehensive charging flat rate that allows users to charge at over 300,000 charging stations in Germany and Europe without having to worry about different charging cards and regionally varying tariffs. The elvah app shows in real-time which charging stations are functioning well and which are failing, based on data from operators and customer feedback. Another focus is on developing an AI platform that aims to turn electric cars into mobile battery storage, a concept known as bidirectional charging or Vehicle to Grid[2][3].

Mission and Values

edit

Elvah's mission is to make electromobility accessible and convenient for everyone. The company believes that electric driving should be simple and comfortable. Elvah's values include "Acting with Heart," which means caring for the work, the team, the customers, and the impact on the world[4].

Sustainability Goals and Initiatives

edit

Elvah is strongly committed to promoting sustainable mobility. By integrating over 300,000 charging points and providing a data-driven and customer-centric platform, elvah helps to overcome the challenges in the charging infrastructure market. The company focuses on renewable energies and is working to utilize electric vehicle batteries as flexible energy storage, which is expected to contribute to a more efficient and sustainable energy distribution in the long term[2][3].

Current Developments

edit

After an investor crisis and a preliminary insolvency proceeding in 2023, elvah was acquired by E.ON. Despite these challenges, the company continues its innovative work and still offers services and features for B2B customers while maintaining its commitment to sustainable mobility[2][4].

Elvah remains an important player in the European e-mobility sector, known for its B2B2C SaaS solutions and its data-driven approach that meets the needs of customers.
