Quick Takeaways
- Blue Dot started three years ago to solve the public charging problem, with each charger requiring a different app or procedure.
- Blue Dot aggregated many chargers and provided one solution so consumer and fleet EV drivers could find over 80% of the world’s chargers on one platform with one payment solution to streamline charging for everyone.
- They are helping fleet companies figure out the best way to get drivers home chargers for more success while also keeping costs down and providing access to faster chargers when needed through the Blue Dot app.
- Blue Dot handles all billing and tracking of rideshare and fleet drivers’ charging and then bills the appropriate party on a daily basis, taking the pressure off fleet and rental companies and keeping drivers updated.
- Rideshare drivers charge a lot, sometimes even just a few minutes at a time, but having the app at their fingertips to know where the charging stations are is helpful.
- The Blue Dot app will also tell drivers how long ago another EV driver used the charging station so they know if it’s worth using to avoid wasting time.
- Blue Dot includes an AI optimization tool that considers their route, the chargers along the way and the car’s current battery level for an optimal trip.
- The app captures all the data so rideshare drivers are never surprised at their costs or usage, which is important for rideshare drivers.
- Tesla charging stations aren’t the only ones they track for; they work with all charging stations for all vehicles, especially since more fleets are branching out from Tesla.
- Blue Dot has the best membership rates across the industry and helps fleet drivers save money at the charging station versus if they went on their own.
- The app includes full educational videos at easily digestible lengths to help customers without taking up too much time.
