SplitEV operates a peer-to-peer EV charging network that connects EV drivers to privately owned chargers in driveways, parking lots, and fleets, offering reservations and subscription-based pricing. Property owners can host chargers to earn income, while the platform handles automated, bank-grade billing without requiring additional hardware, serving drivers, hosts, and cities across the US.

Company profile
researched Sep 2026SplitEV operates an app-based electric vehicle charging network that lets drivers locate, compare and reserve charging sessions at participating chargers hosted by homeowners and businesses rather than only at public stations. Drivers browse nearby listings showing the host, connector type, power rating, access rules and available hours, then book a time slot in advance. Host categories described by the company include single-family homes, apartment and multifamily buildings, hotels and vacation rentals, shops, gyms and offices, faith and community centers, and existing charger operators seeking to fill idle hours. Charger information submitted by hosts is reviewed before a location is activated.
The service is positioned around the gap between EV adoption and public charging availability, with the company citing a ratio of roughly one U.S. public charging outlet per 31 EVs in Q1 2026. Target driver segments include apartment and condo residents without home charging, rideshare and delivery drivers, street parkers and travelers. The company also frames booking demand data as a way to identify where additional hosts are needed. A separate company profile describes the ambition of building a nationwide EV charging network, arguing that existing infrastructure is fragmented, inefficiently connected and expensive.
Business model
SplitEV acts as an intermediary marketplace between owners of underused chargers and EV drivers. Hosts list the hours they are willing to make available and can earn from completed sessions, while drivers pay SplitEV for access rather than transacting per session at each location.
Drivers pay a flat monthly subscription with an included mileage allowance: City Circuit at $69/month for 600 miles, Grid Pass at $99/month for 1,200 miles, and Amp Power at $149/month for 2,000 miles. Additional miles are billed at $0.12 each, unused miles roll over for 90 days, and there is no separate per-session SplitEV fee at eligible locations.

Market position
Positions itself as a complement and alternative to public charging station networks, arguing public infrastructure cannot cover every stop and that idle private chargers can add capacity without new hardware buildout.
Uses existing privately owned chargers and their unused hours instead of deploying new stations, offers advance booking of specific time slots, exposes locations that do not appear on public station maps, and prices access as a single monthly subscription with included miles rather than per-kWh session charges.
Technology
A consumer mobile app that surfaces participating charger listings with distance, connector, power output, host rating and open hours, supports advance time-slot reservations, and includes a cost comparison tool that estimates monthly public charging spend against a SplitEV plan using assumed efficiency factors and a charging-loss allowance. Usage is metered in plan-denominated "SplitMiles."
Go-to-market
Two-sided acquisition through the app: drivers are directed to download the app to find participating chargers near home, work, routes and destinations, while charger owners are recruited to create listings and open specific hours. Coverage is built neighborhood by neighborhood, using booking demand to guide where new hosts are recruited.
EV drivers without reliable home charging, including apartment and condo residents, rideshare and delivery drivers, street parkers and travelers; on the supply side, homeowners, multifamily buildings, hotels and vacation rentals, retail, gym and office sites, community and faith centers, and existing charger operators.
Geography
United States, with participating locations shown in the app.
