Catenaa, Wednesday, April 09, 2025- DeCharge, a next-generation electric vehicle (EV) charging network, has raised $2.5 million in seed funding.
The round was led by Lemniscap, with participation from Colosseum, Daedalus Angels, EV3 Labs, Echo Fundraiser Chainyoda Jedis, Levitate Labs, and notable angels such as Nom (creator of Bonk), Shek (Superteam/Solana), and Arnold Lee (Spherelabs).
The funding will help DeCharge expand its AI-powered energy network, addressing the growing need for efficient and widely accessible EV charging infrastructure.
Traditional charging stations, which are insufficient to meet the rising demand, often lack the scalability, efficiency, and intelligence needed to support the ongoing adoption of electric vehicles.
DeCharge aims to bridge this gap with its ultra-fast DC charging stations for highways and urban hubs, alongside decentralized DeCharge Beast chargers for everyday use.
The company is also incorporating AI-powered dynamic pricing and smart routing systems to optimize grid loads and enhance user experience.
DeCharge’s permissionless, community-driven model enables anyone to host a charger, accelerating access to reliable stations.
With plans to expand to 3,000+ locations across the U.S., Europe, Middle East, and emerging markets, DeCharge will focus on filling gaps in underserved regions with its H3 Spatial Indexing. The company’s future plans include launching a tokenized energy marketplace and scaling incentives for charger hosts, fleet operators, and EV users.
Roderik van der Graaf, Managing Partner of Lemniscap, praised DeCharge for its potential to disrupt the EV charging landscape, supporting the future of electric, decentralized, and community-powered mobility.
