JOB DESCRIPTION

Einride is revolutionizing transportation by showing the world a new way to move, based on the latest digital, electric and autonomous technologies. Through a suite of EV charging and fleet solutions and freight capacity as a service operations, Einride enables businesses around the world to accelerate towards their sustainability goals. Einride’s customers include some of the world’s biggest shippers, including Fortune 500 companies.

For commercial fleets, the biggest pain point around adopting electric vehicles is charging. Even at private charging depots, fleets lack critical real-time visibility into charger health and status. A charger that unexpectedly stops charging can derail operations if the issue isn’t caught immediately. Charging at the wrong times can incur electricity costs that are thousands of dollars higher than they need to be.

Flipturn, a subsidiary of Einride, is a leading charging management platform for fleets and charging depots. We provide a comprehensive solution that minimizes utility costs with energy management, improves charger uptime and issue resolution speed, and provides powerful cost per mile and range insights for EV operations.
