Important results from the project
The project developed an MVP software solution that automatically collects and structures EV charging data via Tesla´s Fleet API for LCFS credit applications with CARB in California. The solution enables 10–25% cheaper charging for EV owners by unlocking underutilized carbon credits without expensive metering hardware.
Expected long term effects
The solution can scale to additional LCFS-participating states and OEMs, addressing a market valued at approximately $4 billion. The project strengthens Swedish-American collaboration in sustainable mobility and creates a foundation for future R&D. By making EV ownership more financially attractive, the solution contributes to accelerating the transition from fossil fuels across North America.
Approach and implementation
The project was primarily carried out in San Francisco. Development followed agile sprints: cloud database setup, API development against Tesla´s Fleet API, CARB compliance adaptation, and usability testing. The team worked mainly on-site in the US to ensure close contact with the market and regulatory bodies. The timeline was largely followed, with some delay due to CARB regulatory processes.
