Roil Network

What Roil Network does

Roil Network, Inc. is a privately held, pre-launch company building a consumer mobile application called Roil Motor Club that targets individual electric vehicle owners who charge at home. The company is headquartered in New York, United States, operates with a team of 1-10 employees, and markets itself through organic social channels (Twitter and LinkedIn), an early-access email funnel, and a content-driven FAQ presence on its roil.club domain.

The core product connects a user's EV to a real-time grid data feed to identify when home charging is simultaneously cheapest and cleanest, and pays them cash-back for shifting load to those windows. The app also aggregates the flexibility of enrolled EV batteries into a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) that can be dispatched during peak demand, and automatically measures and offsets the carbon footprint of home charging so users reach net-zero charging emissions regardless of when they plug in. The platform is designed for compatibility with more than 30 EV brands including Tesla, Hyundai, Ford, Audi, Porsche, Nissan, BMW, Volkswagen, Rivian, Mercedes, Chevy, Volvo, Land Rover, Toyota, Mini, and Jaguar. There is no evidence of patents, certifications, named customers, or disclosed partnerships in the source data, and the management team is not documented.

The business model is dual-sided. The consumer-facing service is free, with no subscription or per-charge fee; end users earn cash-back rather than pay. Monetization is intended to come from B2B counterparties — grid operators and utilities paying for aggregated VPP demand-response capacity — and from the sale of verified carbon offsets generated through the home-charging footprint measurement. The app is not yet available for download; the site shows a "Coming Soon" status and is collecting early-access sign-ups. No funding rounds, revenue, or contracted VPP offtake agreements have been disclosed.

Revenue model

1. Virtual Power Plant (VPP) Services: Roil aggregates flexible energy capacity from connected EV batteries during peak demand periods and provides this demand response capability to grid operators or energy utilities. EV drivers receive a portion of the value generated from this grid flexibility service, while Roil retains the remainder as revenue.
2. Carbon Offset Services: The company measures and offsets home charging carbon footprint. Revenue may be generated through the sale of verified carbon offsets to individuals or organizations seeking to neutralize their EV charging emissions.

Core offering

Roil Network operates the "Roil Motor Club" mobile application for home-charging EV drivers. The app connects to the user's vehicle, surfaces real-time grid data to recommend the cheapest and cleanest charging windows, pays drivers cash-back for charging during optimal times and for providing battery flexibility during peak demand via Virtual Power Plant (VPP) services, and automatically measures and offsets the carbon footprint of home charging so users can achieve net-zero driving emissions. The product is currently in pre-launch ("Coming Soon") status with early-access signup open.

Product overview

Roil Motor Club is a single unified mobile application product that helps EV drivers optimize home charging. The core app connects to the user's EV to provide real-time grid data showing when charging is cheapest and cleanest, rewards users with cash-back for flexible charging during peak demand periods, and automatically measures and offsets the carbon footprint of home charging to achieve net-zero emissions.

Direct peers

• Voltus: Virtual Power Plant operator that aggregates distributed energy resources — including EVs — into wholesale capacity, demand response and ancillary services markets. Comparable VPP aggregation economics.
• OhmConnect: Residential demand response provider that pays consumers to reduce energy use during peak events and aggregates that flexibility into grid services. Same consumer-pay-for-flexibility monetization logic.
• ev.energy: UK-headquartered managed EV charging platform that partners with utilities and energy retailers to deliver smart charging and VPP services to residential drivers. Operates the same two-sided consumer/VPP model.
• Optiwatt: US-based consumer app that optimizes home EV charging schedules and aggregates enrolled EVs into utility demand response programs. Closest direct competitor with the same consumer-plus-VPP business model.
• EnergyHub: Residential demand response aggregation platform used by North American utilities, including programs that incorporate EV managed charging. Directly competes for utility flexibility contracts.
• WeaveGrid: Software platform for utilities and automakers to manage residential EV charging and grid integration. Comparable in managed-charging software capability, though more utility-facing than Roil's consumer front-end.

Emerging players

• Bidgely: Home energy disaggregation and analytics platform that utilities use to deliver personalized insights and appliance-level savings — adjacent to Roil's home energy optimization use case.
• Enode: API platform that connects EVs, solar, batteries and thermostats into a single integration layer for energy apps. Enabling technology that could compete with or supply Roil's vehicle connectivity stack.
• Span.IO: Smart home electrical panel that enables whole-home energy management including EV charging, solar and battery integration. Comparable residential energy management scope at the home edge.

Broad incumbents

• ChargePoint: Largest independent EV charging network operator in North America with a broad software portfolio covering charging management, billing and fleet operations. Overlaps with Roil on EV charging software and network services.
