Company Overview
PUBLIC
Electric Miles was founded in 2019 by Arun Anand, an energy sector veteran with a reported 15 years of prior experience, to address the intersection of electric vehicle adoption and grid stability [electricmiles.com]. The company is headquartered in London and operates under the legal entity ELECTRIC MILES LIMITED, incorporated in September 2017 [Companies House]. Its founding narrative centers on the vision of an "Internet of Energy," a software layer that converts distributed EV charging assets into a flexible, grid-responsive resource.
The company's development has followed a clear trajectory from consumer-focused software to a broader enterprise and grid services platform. An early milestone was the launch of its consumer-facing Smart Charge mobile app, which allows drivers to schedule charging for the cheapest or greenest times [App Store, 2026]. By 2025, the company reported it had delivered more than 11,000 half-hourly flexibility dispatches to the grid through its SmartFlex platform, signaling operational scale in its core flexibility service [transportandenergy.com, 2025]. A significant product expansion came with the launch of emPACT, a suite tailored for electric fleets, charger manufacturers, and installers, marking a strategic push into the commercial and industrial segment [electricmiles.com].
Strategic partnerships have been a consistent feature of its growth. A notable collaboration with AMPECO, a white-label EV charging management platform, was established to allow AMPECO's UK-based clients to participate in the national demand-side flexibility market [ampeco.com]. The company also lists official membership in the Open Charge Alliance, a standards body critical for charger interoperability, and notes it is pursuing certification for key communication protocols [electricmiles.com].

Product and Technology
MIXED
Electric Miles sells a software platform that connects electric vehicle chargers to the grid, turning static charging sessions into a flexible, monetizable energy asset. The company's core proposition is a dual-sided platform: a consumer-facing mobile application for scheduling and managing EV charging, and a backend cloud service that aggregates this distributed demand to provide grid-balancing services to network operators [Perplexity Sonar Pro Brief]. This architecture allows the company to address both end-user convenience and the grid's need for flexible load management.
The product suite is segmented by customer type. For individual EV drivers, the Smart Charge app provides automated scheduling to match off-peak tariff hours, tracks energy use and costs, and sends session notifications [appadvice.com, 2026]. For commercial and enterprise-level fleets and site operators, the company offers emPACT (Platform for Accelerating Clean Transportation), described as a full-featured EV charging software stack [fleetnews.co.uk, 2026]. This business-facing platform is designed to help operators electrify operations, optimize charging, and sell surplus energy capacity back to the grid [Perplexity Sonar Pro Brief]. A key technical capability is the SmartFlex platform, which the company reports has delivered more than 11,000 half-hourly flexibility dispatches [transportandenergy.com, 2025].
Interoperability is a stated technical priority. The company is an official member of the Open Charge Alliance (OCA) and has stated it will be applying for certification for the OCPP 1.6 and 2.0.1 protocols, which are standard communication interfaces for EV chargers [electricmiles.com]. This focus on standards supports the claim that the software can plug into multiple charger brands, converting them into grid-responsive assets [Perplexity Sonar Pro Brief]. The partnership with AMPECO, a white-label charging management platform, is a concrete example of this integration strategy, allowing AMPECO's UK-based clients to participate in the UK demand-side flexibility market [ampeco.com].

Market Research
PUBLIC
The market for EV charging and grid flexibility software is being pulled forward by the dual mandates of decarbonizing transport and stabilizing power grids, creating a wedge for platforms that can arbitrage between the two.
Third-party market sizing for the specific niche of commercial EV fleet charging and flexibility software is not yet widely published, but analogous reports illustrate the scale of the underlying components. The global market for electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) is projected to reach $115.8 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual rate of 26.6% [Fortune Business Insights, 2023]. More directly, the market for vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, which includes bidirectional charging and grid services, is forecast to grow from $1.8 billion in 2022 to $17.4 billion by 2028 [MarketsandMarkets, 2023]. Electric Miles's serviceable market can be approximated as the intersection of these two trends: the software layer that enables commercial EV charging to participate in grid flexibility schemes, a segment likely valued in the low billions currently but growing as EV adoption and grid volatility increase.
Key demand drivers are well-documented in industry and government publications. The UK's legal commitment to a net-zero power grid by 2035, alongside a ban on new internal combustion engine car sales from 2030, creates a non-negotiable timeline for fleet electrification [UK Government, 2021]. This drives immediate demand for charging management from businesses and public sector bodies. Simultaneously, the increasing penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources like wind and solar creates a critical need for flexible, dispatchable demand to balance the grid, a service for which UK network operators are actively procuring [National Grid ESO, 2023]. Electric Miles's model directly addresses this convergence, positioning EV charging loads as a grid asset.
Adjacent and substitute markets present both opportunities and competitive pressure. The broader demand-side response (DSR) market aggregates flexibility from industrial loads, commercial HVAC, and residential batteries. Software platforms like Kaluza and Octopus Energy's Kraken operate in this wider energy retail and flexibility space. The primary substitute for a dedicated EV flexibility platform is manual, time-of-use tariff management or simple charger scheduling, which fails to capture the real-time value of grid services. Regulatory forces are a significant tailwind; UK regulator Ofgem has established frameworks like the Distribution System Operator (DSO) flexibility markets, which standardize procurement and create a revenue pathway for aggregators like Electric Miles [Ofgem, 2022].

V2G Technology Market (2028) | 17.4 | $B
The sizing data, while not specific to the company's exact product category, frames the addressable opportunity as substantial and backed by two high-growth, policy-driven megatrends. The absence of a precise SAM figure is typical for an emerging software layer, but the growth trajectories of the adjacent hardware and technology markets suggest a rapidly expanding ceiling.

Competitive Landscape
MIXED Electric Miles operates in a crowded but still-nascent segment, where competition is defined less by direct feature parity and more by the depth of grid integration and the chosen go-to-market wedge.
| Company | Positioning | Stage / Funding | Notable Differentiator | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electric Miles | Smart EV charging & energy flexibility management for UK businesses, fleets, and grid operators. | Seed (~$1.05M) | Focus on UK grid operator partnerships and demand-side response (DSR) aggregation; official OCA member. | [CB Insights] |
| WeaveGrid | Software for utilities to manage EV-grid integration, primarily in North America. | Series B ($35M) | Deep utility integration model; focuses on enabling utilities to serve EV customers directly. | [Crunchbase] |
| Jedlix | Smart charging and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) platform, strong in European markets like the Netherlands. | Acquired (by Eneco) | Emphasis on V2G technology and integration with renewable energy suppliers. | [Crunchbase] |
| ev.energy | White-label smart charging software for utilities and automakers, global footprint. | Series B ($33M) | Strong OEM and utility partnerships (e.g., BMW, National Grid); white-label platform approach. | [Crunchbase] |
| Kaluza | OVO's intelligent energy platform, offering smart EV charging as part of a broader home energy ecosystem. | Venture (backed by OVO) | Deep integration with a major energy supplier's customer base and generation assets. | [Crunchbase] |
The competitive map splits into three primary vectors. First are the grid-first platforms like WeaveGrid and Kaluza, which embed EV charging management within a broader utility or supplier relationship. Their edge is a captive customer base and existing grid contracts, but they can be slower to innovate across multiple charger brands. Second are the driver-first apps and white-label providers like ev.energy, which prioritize user experience and partner scalability. Their strength is distribution through automakers and energy retailers, but their grid service depth can vary by region. Third are the specialist aggregators, a category where Electric Miles currently positions itself. These firms focus specifically on aggregating distributed energy resources (DERs) like EV chargers to sell flexibility services to grid operators, a complex, regulation-heavy business.
Electric Miles's defensible edge today is its early-mover integration with specific UK Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) including SP Energy Networks and UK Power Networks [chargedevs.com, 2025]. Securing these commercial agreements, and the technical certification to dispatch flexibility, creates a regulatory and operational moat that is difficult for a new entrant to quickly replicate. This edge is durable only if the company can scale the volume of managed assets and maintain its performance track record; grid operators will not tolerate unreliable dispatch. The partnership with AMPECO [ampeco.com] is a strategic distribution play, embedding its flexibility layer into a white-label charging management platform used by other charge-point operators.
The company's most significant exposure is its UK-centric focus and relatively limited capital base. While it has secured DNO partnerships, national-scale competitors like ev.energy, which also works with National Grid, have raised an order of magnitude more capital and have global partnerships that could be leveraged in the UK market [Crunchbase]. Furthermore, Electric Miles does not own the customer relationship in many deployments, acting as a behind-the-meter intelligence layer. This creates dependency on partners like AMPECO or charger manufacturers for market access and could compress its share of the value chain over time.
The most plausible 18-month scenario hinges on the UK's demand-side flexibility market structure. If regulation accelerates and standardizes compensation for distributed flexibility, Electric Miles could be a winner by leveraging its existing DNO integrations to rapidly scale its aggregated capacity beyond the reported 8 megawatts [electricmiles.com]. Conversely, if the market consolidates around utility-led platforms or large white-label providers, ev.energy or Kaluza could be winners, leveraging their broader feature sets and capital to absorb the aggregation function, potentially making a specialist like Electric Miles an acquisition target for its grid contracts rather than a standalone leader.

Opportunity
PUBLIC The prize for a company that successfully intermediates between the growing fleet of electric vehicles and a grid under strain is not merely a software subscription, but a claim on a new form of distributed infrastructure.
The headline opportunity is to become the default operating system for commercial EV fleet flexibility in the UK, and a model for export. The outcome is plausible because the company is not just building a scheduling app; it is aggregating real, dispatchable load from chargers and selling it back to the grid. Electric Miles has already delivered more than 11,000 half-hourly flexibility dispatches through its SmartFlex platform [transportandenergy.com, 2025] and works with major UK electricity networks including SP Energy Networks and UK Power Networks [chargedevs.com, 2025]. This positions it as a proven participant in the demand-side response (DSR) market, a critical and revenue-generating wedge into fleet operators who are increasingly mandated to electrify. The partnership with AMPECO, a white-label charging management platform, provides a clear channel to scale this capability across multiple charge-point operators without requiring deep sales into each one [ampeco.com].
Growth will follow one of several concrete paths, each hinging on a specific catalyst.
| Scenario | What happens | Catalyst | Why it's plausible |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fleet-First Standard | Electric Miles’ emPACT platform becomes the mandated or de facto software for large UK commercial fleets (e.g., logistics, last-mile delivery) to manage charging costs and grid compliance. | A major national logistics firm publicly adopts emPACT for its entire EV transition, citing grid revenue sharing. | The company has launched emPACT, a product suite tailored for electric fleets [electricmiles.com], and the UK’s DSR market for fleets is expanding under net-zero transport targets. |
| Grid-Embedded Infrastructure | UK Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) formally integrate Electric Miles’ aggregation software into their grid balancing toolkit, treating it as a preferred virtual power plant (VPP) for EV load. | A DNO like UK Power Networks issues a long-term procurement contract for EV flexibility, selecting Electric Miles as a provider. | The company already works with multiple DNOs [chargedevs.com, 2025] and has secured 8 MW of registered flexibility capacity [electricmiles.com]. |
| Platform Proliferation | The AMPECO partnership model is replicated with other major charging software platforms globally, making Electric Miles’ flexibility layer an embedded, default feature for thousands of charge points. | A second European charging platform announces a similar integration partnership, validating the white-label approach. | The AMPECO deal is framed as an integration that unlocks flexibility for AMPECO’s clients, establishing a clear partnership template [ampeco.com]. |
What compounding looks like is a classic two-sided network effect with a data moat. Each new fleet or charge-point operator adds more, predictable EV load to the aggregated pool. A larger, more reliable pool increases the value of the flexibility service to grid operators, who may offer more favorable terms or priority dispatch. Those improved economics can be shared back with the fleet customers, lowering their total cost of EV ownership and attracting the next wave of adopters. Early evidence of this flywheel is the 8 MW of secured flexibility capacity, which represents the aggregated demand from the initial installed base [electricmiles.com]. The company’s official membership in the Open Charge Alliance (OCA) and pursuit of OCPP certification aim to reduce integration friction, accelerating the accumulation of assets [electricmiles.com].
The size of the win can be framed by looking at comparable companies that aggregate distributed energy resources (DERs). A direct, though larger, peer is Kaluza, an OVO Energy-owned smart grid platform that also optimizes EV charging and home energy devices. While Kaluza is not publicly traded, its 2022 valuation was reported at nearly $1 billion following a strategic investment from Mitsubishi Corporation [Sifted, 2022]. For Electric Miles, a successful execution of the Fleet-First Standard scenario,capturing a leading share of the UK’s commercial fleet DSR market,could support a valuation in the high hundreds of millions based on a revenue multiple applied to managed energy and grid service fees (scenario, not a forecast). The underlying UK flexibility market for EVs alone is projected to be worth hundreds of millions of pounds annually by 2030, according to National Grid ESO’s Future Energy Scenarios [National Grid ESO, 2023].
