Mohan Ponnada - NEXUS Startup Competition Pitch #8: DeCharge - TOKEN2049 Singapore 2025
In this insightful presentation at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2025, Mohan Ponnada, co-founder of DeCharge, takes the spotlight in the NEXUS Startup Competition. DeCharge is revolutionizing the EV charging landscape with their innovative, decentralized approach, likened to the Airbnb model but for electric vehicle charging. Facing a pressing industry challenge—where by the next six months there may be only one charging station for every 120 electric vehicles—DeCharge addresses the critical infrastructure gap in a $500 billion market.
This talk delves into the inefficiencies of traditional charging models tied up in real estate and costly processes, highlighting their inability to scale. In contrast, DeCharge activates "sleeping assets" by enabling property owners to utilize their own space and utilities, significantly shortening the deployment cycle of charging infrastructure from 16 months to just six weeks. This decentralization enhances cost efficiency by up to 70% and generates immense value for property owners through daily revenue, attractive returns on investment, and a stake in the DeCharge network via a tokenized infrastructure model.
Mohan expounds on the rapid expansion DeCharge is experiencing, already active in over ten geographies within a short span. The company fosters a burgeoning community eager to engage in increasingly large-scale projects, proving the strength and potential of this decentralized utility model.
