MoEVing - About

MoEVing is accelerating EV adoption with a unique technology based platform approach. Founded in February 2021, in Gurgaon (India), MoEVing is India's first technology platform focused on developing the EV ecosystem with data at the center of its strategy. MoEVing's current product offering on the demand side, provides solutions to top e-commerce, e-grocery, FMCG, logistics and D2C companies to optimize their logistics costs and meet their goals of reducing carbon emissions. At the same time, on the supply side, MoEVing works with OEMs, driver cum owners and financial institutions to help address various constraints that are coming in the way of EV adoption.

MoEVing is a technology led company with a vision to transform the EV ecosystem to accelerate EV adoption in India. It is a holistic approach to demand aggregation, supply optimization, connecting with charging infrastructure and financing.

MoEVing’s platform approach enables drivers to become micro-entrepreneurs, allowing assured revenue, access to charging solutions, financing, vehicle-know how, and thus increasing their income by 50%.

MoEVing - Industry

EV adoption in India is at an inflexion point particularly in 2W and 3W in commercial mobility for intra-city use cases (range of 80-120 kms) driven by multiple reasons, the top ones being:

  • 40% lower TCO as compared to ICE
  • Green goals of e-commerce companies
  • Government push towards electrification of commercial fleet including by way of subsidy of ~10-15% of vehicle cost.

Electric vehicle adoption in India is at the right inflection point to leverage it to create both economical and sustainable benefits for the society. 2021 is the year where many critical ecosystem players have become active in the EV ecosystem, including OEMs bringing in high quality EV vehicle products into the market, charging infrastructure development becoming easier on ground and new age banks being open to financing EVs. With a management team having run over 100 Million Kilometers and a cumulative EV sector experience of 30 years, the team at it’s core believes that electrification of the B2B delivery space is possible today and provides a great business opportunity for accelerating adoption of EVs among last mile delivery drivers.

MoEVing is backed by angel investors of high repute including professionals from private equity background, board members of the largest automotive OEM in India and others.

Vikash Mishra serves as Chief Executive Officer of MoEVing.

With over 20 years experience in the energy and mobility industry, he is responsible for MoEVing’s vision and development. He has been supporting the electric mobility ecosystem for the past 5 years and has even set up the Electric Mobility Initiative at Shakti Foundation for EV policy advocacy, while leading business at Lithium, the largest EV fleet operator and charging  infra network. Vikash has a deep understanding of the energy industry and energy transition.

MoEVing - Idea & Startup Story

Vikash, Founder of MoEVing has been in the electric vehicle fleet business for multiple years, has experience running both electric bus fleets and electric car fleets. Given his in-depth understanding on the vehicle products, operating these new age EV products and related infrastructure, being part of building the EV policy framework in India and working with large fleets, he instantly knew late 2020 that India is at an inflection point where one needs to tie the loose ends and take an ecosystem approach to accelerating EV adoption.

When the pandemic hit, he realised what a large opportunity the B2B last mile delivery space provides in terms of electrification. Having been in the space for years, he approached leaders across various sectors, investors, OEMs, charging infrastructure companies, policy makers, financiers, including brainstorming with his college batchmate, Mragank on how this very inflection point in the automotive sector can be leveraged into making a profitable business opportunity. Post multiple brainstorms with potential clients, drivers, financiers and various stakeholders, Vikash realised that the issue wasn't optimizing order delivery which was already solved by organizations like Delhivery, Porter and Shadowfax. The issue was now reducing cost of logistics on the demand side due to unstable fuel prices as well as there being not one player who is enabling adoption of low cost vehicle technology like EVs for the driver cum owners.

This is when Vikash established MoEVing in early 2021 as a driver-centric platform that provides full-stack technology solutions including delivery, charging, financing and analytics solutions thereby making EV adoption a seamless process.

MoEVing - Vision

In five years, MoEVing expects to become a $1 billion revenue company, providing full stack solutions across form factors, with deep data expertise, having international presence and a business structure where investors with different risk profiles can participate. MoEVing has raised over $5 Million in seed capital to prove the playbook and roll- out the technology platform.

MoEVing - Getting Clients after Startup Launch

The company was incorporated on January 19th 2021 and signed its first PAN India contract on January 21st, 2021 with one of India’s biggest e-grocery companies. Their main strategy was and is delivering the best service to ensure there is no reason for any client to not convert their last mile delivery to electric. MoEVing started with 1 client and expanded very quickly to 20+ clients in 11 months because they continuously provided their thesis operationally and supported various requirements of clients and drivers to make the transition to EVs seamless.

The company has a low/zero CAC business model, since the beginning they have no sales people in their team. The growth is purely driven by two factors.

  • The clients, top e-commerce, e-grocery, FMCG, logistics and D2C companies needing to optimize their logistics costs and meet their goals of reducing carbon emissions.
  • Time and again, the proven track record with multiple customers of scaling fleet across cities and across vehicle form factors, nationally.

MoEVing - Challenges Faced

Here are some to the major challenges faced initially:

  1. Client based challenges: Electrification of the fleet requires fundamental changes in the operational approach, which leads to us crossing initial knowledge hurdles with any client or driver they onboard.
  2. Infrastructure based challenges: Currently most charging infrastructure providers are focusing investments towards fast charging solely focused on B2C uptake with close to no planning overlap with B2B EV charging usage where the larger percentage of adoption will take place in the coming 5 years. This created an issue for MoEVing initially but now they create their own charging spaces where drivers can charge vehicles, park, get their vehicle maintenance & related services done.
  3. Financing based challenges: With no proven product life cycle and product know-how, it was initially difficult to convince both traditional and new age financiers to finance EVs at an affordable rate.
  4. Driver based challenges: Initial challenges around driver training, basic understanding of EVs and how to charge them. But these are easily overcome through company's driver training.
