Mobility startups
Startups changing how people and vehicles move through cities - charging, ownership, two wheels, and the infrastructure none of it works without.
What counts as Mobility
Mobility covers startups changing how people and vehicles move through cities - charging, ownership, two wheels, and the infrastructure none of it works without. On this hub that means EV charging built for places that have none, electric vehicles for specific terrain, shared access instead of ownership, and the data and payment layers around buying and using a car.
Charging is the whole argument
Most of this hub circles one problem: an electric vehicle is only as useful as the place you can plug it in.
GoPowerEV attacks the version of that problem nobody with a driveway thinks about - charging in multi-family housing, where residents have no dedicated parking to wire. Rove Charging takes the opposite angle, building dedicated 24/7 fast charging with solar canopies and food, treating the stop as somewhere you would choose to be rather than somewhere you wait.
Skipping ownership entirely
Outbound sidesteps both problems by putting shared electric vehicles inside the buildings people already live, work or stay in. The car is not owned, and the charging is someone else's problem - which is a neater answer to urban mobility than most.
Two wheels, and one very specific set of runners
FLIT builds folding ebikes for commuters juggling a bike with other transport. Pave BK serves riders moving off petrol for cost as much as for emissions.
Then there is MoonBikes, the world's first electric snowbike - a third the size of a snowmobile and light enough that winter mobility stops being the preserve of people comfortable with heavy machinery.
Trust, and the used car
Two companies here work on the same suspicion. EpicVIN uses blockchain to make a vehicle's history verifiable rather than asserted, and EZCarTrade rebuilds the transaction around it.
Paying without getting out
PayByCar is the outlier - a payments company rather than a vehicle one, enabling pay-by-text purchases from inside the car, starting with tolls. It is a reminder that a lot of mobility innovation is really about the moments a journey is interrupted.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Mobility hub cover?
Four things - EV charging infrastructure, electric vehicles built for particular terrain or journeys, shared access models that replace ownership, and the data and payment layers around buying and using a car.
Where is the real bottleneck in EV adoption, according to these companies?
Charging where people actually park. GoPowerEV builds specifically for multi-family housing, because a resident without a driveway has nowhere to charge. Rove takes the opposite approach, treating a charging stop as a destination with solar canopies and food rather than a roadside inconvenience.
Is anyone rethinking car ownership itself?
Outbound is the clearest case. Rather than selling or renting a car, it installs shared electric vehicles inside residential, commercial and tourist buildings for the exclusive use of the people who live, work or stay there.
What is the most unusual vehicle profiled here?
MoonBikes, the world's first electric snowbike. At roughly a third the size of a snowmobile and far lighter, it is aimed at making winter mobility accessible to people who would never operate conventional snow machinery.
Do you cover the used car market?
Yes, and both entries are about trust rather than inventory. EpicVIN uses blockchain to make vehicle history verifiable, and EZCarTrade rebuilds the buying and selling process itself.
