SUMMARY
- Brussels-based startup Pleevi has raised €1 million to expand its AI-powered smart EV charging technology across Europe. Their goal is to manage 25,000 charging points by 2027.
- Founded in 2024 as a spin-off from VITO (partner in Energyville) by Wout Lagae and Robin Vanderschueren, Pleevi developed software that combines energy sources like solar power and batteries to create a smart, demand-based charging system.
The funding round included contributions from Angelwise, Seeder Fund, Noshaq Energy, QBIC III Fund, and angel investor Loïc Bar.
Wout Lagae, Co-founder and CEO of Pleevi said, “The unique aspect of Pleevi is that our entire charging process is not only based on real-time information but also incorporates what the next hours will bring, By forecasting energy flows 24 hours ahead, Pleevi’s AI-driven optimisation ensures efficient energy usage without overloading the grid. For instance, on a sunny morning, we can account for abundant solar energy expected later in the day, as well as wind energy forecasts. Our algorithm also factors in the energy needs of the main building on a given day. This helps determine how much energy will be available for charging infrastructure. On a Friday, when many employees work from home, the capacity will differ significantly from a busy Tuesday when high energy demand is required both in the parking area and the building. This allows us to offer not only cheaper but also greener charging sessions.”

Marc Mommaerts, Managing Partner of Angelwise and Chairman of the board, stated: “Pleevi’s smart EV charging tackles a critical energy challenge. It optimizes renewable energy use, strengthens grid stability, and prevents overloads. With top-notch technology Pleevi delivers strong ROI while solving a clear societal and energy problem..”
Loïc Bar, also expressed his enthusiasm: “As the energy transition accelerates and the world embraces rapid electrification—driven largely by electric vehicles—flexibility in our power systems is becoming essential. Pleevi positions itself as a crucial enabler by providing cutting-edge APIs that empower charging point operators to deploy innovative solutions faster and more effectively. Their technology is a key driver of the smarter, more sustainable infrastructure we need for the future. I’m happy to be part of the story and look forward to it.”
Pleevi’s AI system helps lower EV charging costs and reduces the need for fossil fuels. It takes into account factors like departure times, local solar energy, building energy use, connection limits, and changing energy prices to create a customized charging solution for each location.
