What Bluedot does
Bluedot Technologies is a B2B software company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Palo Alto, California, with an engineering and operations hub in Istanbul, Turkey. The company built and operates FleetOS, an OCPP-compliant EV fleet charging management and payments platform that gives fleet operators a single software layer to access more than 80% of US public charging stations (120,000+ chargers), automate home-charging reimbursement with IRS-compliant receipts pulled from utility rate data and vehicle telematics (GEOTAB, Samsara), consolidate billing across mixed-OEM fleets (Chevy, BMW, Ford, Tesla — including Tesla Supercharging), and monitor vehicles via AI-powered telematics, fraud detection, and route/energy optimization. Industry-vertical solutions are offered for rental, corporate, and government fleets; the company also serves individual EV drivers through the Bluedot mobile app and a Visa Debit Card issued by Piermont Bank (Member FDIC) with cash-back rewards on charging.
The company's go-to-market is sales-led, with direct B2B enterprise sales (Schedule Demo / Get Started funnels qualifying on fleet size and service interest), supplemented by inside-sales conversion of inbound leads, OEM and integrator channel partnerships (Rivian, Hertz, Verra Mobility, Zeti, Avride), and a self-serve consumer mobile app channel. Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) quote-based fleet SaaS subscriptions for the FleetOS platform, (2) transactional fees on charging sessions routed through Bluedot across 80%+ of US public chargers, and (3) interchange economics on the Bluedot Visa Debit Card issued by Piermont Bank. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured annually for enterprise fleets.
Bluedot graduated from Y Combinator's Winter 2023 cohort and raised $5 million in a 2023 seed round from Y Combinator, Samsara Ventures, Ford Driventure (Ford Otosan), Axel Springer & Porsche (now Heartfelt), Eksim Ventures, and Treeo VC, with subsequent investment from Revo Capital in 2024 (cumulative funding reported as 'over $7M' prior to acquisition). On May 1, 2026, Epic Charging — a Silicon Valley-based B2B SaaS EV charging software provider — acquired Bluedot; Bluedot continues to operate as a distinct brand under Epic Charging, with its customer contracts (Rivian, Hertz, Vay, City of San Francisco, Avride), platform technology, and team retained. Following the acquisition, Bluedot's data and telematics are being used to accelerate Epic's Charge OptimAIzer AI energy management system, and the company added more than 23,000 additional AC and DC charging points across North America in June 2026.

Bluedot competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- WeaveGrid: WeaveGrid is a direct competitor offering a software platform that manages EV charging for utilities and auto OEMs, integrating with home chargers and telematics — closely mirroring Bluedot's FleetOS approach to multi-OEM EV management.
- Voltera: Voltera develops, owns, and operates EV charging hubs for fleet customers with a software layer for site selection, deployment, and operations — overlapping with Bluedot's fleet charging and payments focus.
- Stable Auto: Stable Auto provides EV charging management software for fleet and multifamily operators, including reservation, billing, and telematics integration — a direct competitor in EV fleet charging operations.
- Amply (bp pulse): Amply, now part of bp pulse, provides managed EV charging for public and commercial fleets with a software platform handling depot charging, billing, and energy management — directly comparable to Bluedot's fleet SaaS offering.
Broad incumbents
- Geotab: Geotab is a leading telematics incumbent whose devices feed Bluedot's home charging reimbursement; as a broad fleet platform, it could bundle EV charging management, competing head-on with Bluedot.
- Fleetio: Fleetio is a fleet operations and maintenance management platform increasingly adding EV capabilities; it serves the same corporate, government, and rental fleet buyers as Bluedot with an adjacent operational focus.
- ChargePoint: ChargePoint operates one of the largest EV charging networks and offers a fleet-dedicated software suite; while primarily a hardware/network player, its software overlaps with Bluedot's fleet charging access and management.
- WEX Fleet: WEX provides fleet payment, fuel, and EV charging management at scale; its broad payment network and fleet cards compete with Bluedot's Visa Debit Card and Automated Billing modules in the fleet payments category.
- Samsara: Samsara is a broader telematics and fleet operations platform that already integrates with Bluedot's reimbursement engine; with EV-specific modules it is both a partner and a potential competitor for fleet-charging software.
Emerging players
- Optiwatt: Optiwatt offers EV smart-charging and energy management software targeting residential and small commercial fleets; an emerging player with partial overlap in EV charging optimization and AI-driven scheduling.
