What Curo does

Curo (legally Park & Charge, LLC) is a U.S.-based marketplace and fleet deployment platform that connects commercial fleet operators with property owners ("site hosts") offering underutilized parking and EV charging infrastructure. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in San Francisco, the company operates its "Virtual Depot" model across 14 U.S. states, providing fleets with access to thousands of electrified parking stalls — including Level 2 and DC fast charging — at vetted locations with controlled access, security cameras, and on-site personnel. Curo is led by CEO Kieran White and CTO Andrew Porter.

The company's core product is the Curo Charging Platform, anchored by the Virtual Depot module that analyzes fleet operations and matches vehicles with available, secure charging infrastructure in locations aligned with driver routes, reducing deadhead miles and extending usable EV range. Complementary offerings include Fleet Charging Services (nationwide access to dedicated electrified stalls with consolidated charging and parking billing) and Site Host Services (tools for property owners to monetize idle parking and charging capacity via automated billing, monitoring, and demand matching).

Curo generates revenue by charging fleets for access to its charging and parking infrastructure (recurring usage-based billing) and by taking transaction commissions from property hosts whose underutilized assets are matched with pre-qualified fleet demand. The go-to-market is B2B sales-led, with direct outreach to both fleet operators and major U.S. parking operators. Curo has secured strategic partnerships with SWTCH Energy (charging network distribution, August 2025) and Emobi (ISO 15118 plug-and-charge integration, January 2026), and has received venture backing from Y Combinator, Pioneer Fund, Eniac Ventures, and Rebel Fund.

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• SWTCH EnergycoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 5 August 2025Curo and SWTCH Energy announced a strategic partnership on August 5, 2025, connecting Curo's Virtual Depot platform with SWTCH's EV charging network. The collaboration enables seamless access to distributed charging infrastructure for commercial fleets across North America. The partnership addresses two industry challenges: insufficient charging access for commercial fleets and underutilized EV charging assets, while increasing revenue potential for property owners.

Direct peers

• SWTCH Energy: SWTCH Energy operates a distributed EV charging network for commercial real estate and multifamily properties. While Curo and SWTCH have a strategic partnership, SWTCH also pursues fleet-charging use cases and competes directly for the same site hosts Curo recruits.
• Terawatt Infrastructure: Terawatt builds and operates depot-scale EV charging infrastructure for commercial fleets. It targets the same fleet electrification problem Curo addresses but with a build-and-own model rather than a marketplace, making it the most direct strategic alternative.
• Hubject: Hubject operates an EV charging roaming and marketplace platform connecting charge point operators and e-mobility service providers across Europe and North America. Its bilateral marketplace model mirrors Curo's fleet-to-host matching thesis.

Broad incumbents

• bp pulse: bp pulse is BP's global EV charging business with a dedicated fleet charging arm. It offers hardware, software, and managed charging services to commercial fleets, competing with Curo at the enterprise level with substantially greater capital and infrastructure.
• ChargePoint: ChargePoint operates one of the largest EV charging networks in North America with extensive fleet offerings. It competes with Curo on fleet charging access and software, though its model is network-operator-led rather than marketplace-led.
• Blink Charging: Blink Charging provides EV charging equipment and network services to commercial, multifamily, and fleet customers. It targets overlapping site hosts and fleets as Curo, with an asset-owning business model.
• EVgo: EVgo is a major public DC fast-charging network operator in the U.S. It is expanding into fleet and commercial use cases, placing it in indirect competition with Curo for fleet charging demand in overlapping metros.

Emerging players

• Nuvve: Nuvve provides vehicle-to-grid (V2G) fleet charging solutions and energy management software. It overlaps with Curo on fleet electrification but layers V2G energy market participation, an adjacent capability Curo does not currently offer.
• Forum Mobility: Forum Mobility develops heavy-duty truck charging depots at ports and logistics hubs. It targets fleet electrification in a specific segment (drayage trucking) and competes for fleet charging wallet share in markets where Curo operates.
• Fermata Energy: Fermata Energy offers V2G-enabled fleet charging management software. It targets the same fleet-electrification customer base as Curo, with a focus on bidirectional energy flows rather than marketplace aggregation.
