Revenue model

1. Electric Transport as a Service (ETaaS): Monthly availability contracts bundling vehicles, charging infrastructure, battery replacement, and software into a pay-per-month fee. Operators pay for guaranteed availability of fully functional, charged vehicles without capital expenditure. Revenue is recurring and scales with fleet size.
2. Grid-Scale Battery Storage: Large-scale battery storage providing grid services including Stability Services, frequency stabilization, and energy trading. Revenue derived from capacity payments, ancillary services contracts, and merchant energy trading. Long-term tolling agreements with major energy companies.
3. Second-Life Battery Solutions: Repurposing retired EV batteries for stationary and portable energy storage applications, providing incremental power solutions to businesses, events, and remote operations. Revenue from battery leasing and power provision.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights8 records

Direct peers

• Harmony Energy: UK developer and operator of grid-scale battery storage projects. Closest head-to-head competitor in UK BESS development pipeline and ancillary services market participation.
• Highview Power: UK-based long-duration energy storage developer (liquid air and cryogenic BESS). Directly comparable to Zenobē's grid-scale storage business competing for the same UK Balancing Mechanism revenues and LDES policy support.
• Gore Street Energy Storage Fund: London-listed fund owning and operating UK and international grid-scale BESS assets. Comparable storage asset ownership model and revenue exposure to UK ancillary services.
• Pivot Power (EDF Renewables): Developer of battery-hub sites at EV charging locations across the UK, combining grid-scale storage with EV charging infrastructure — direct functional overlap with Zenobē's depot energy management and Network Infrastructure plays.

Broad incumbents

• Volvo Trucks: Major commercial vehicle OEM (acquired Proterra) with growing electric truck portfolio and depot consulting services. Comparable target customer base and moves into adjacent charging-as-a-service offerings.
• Tesla Energy (Megapack): Grid-scale battery storage product deployed globally for utility-scale projects. Direct competitor in BESS hardware and project delivery though without fleet electrification bundling.
• ChargePoint: US-headquartered EV charging network operator with fleet and depot charging solutions. Adjacent infrastructure provider rather than direct competitor, but competes for fleet electrification wallet share.
• Hitachi ZeroCarbon: Broader EV fleet electrification and energy management provider under Hitachi. Overlaps with Zenobē's Hekaton software and depot charging offering but operates across more verticals (industrial, commercial, public).

Emerging players

• BYD: Largest global EV bus and truck manufacturer increasingly offering its own fleet services and charging. Represents both a vehicle supplier and emerging fleet-as-a-service competitor to Zenobē's ETaaS bundling model.
• JOLT Energy: Emerging EV charging and battery storage developer in Australia and Germany. Regional overlap with Zenobē's Australian expansion and German BESS origination efforts.
