Bridging Technology and Sustainability for California´s Electric Vehicle Owners

Purpose and goal

The project aims to develop a software solution, CommuteSaver EV, that automatically collects and reports data from Tesla electric vehicles to the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to facilitate the redemption of LCFS credits. By automating the process, electric vehicle owners, especially private individuals and ride-sharing services, can save 10-25% on charging costs. The solution will be tested by our partner and can be scaled to more states and electric vehicle manufacturers in the future

Expected effects and result

The project is expected to enable electric car owners to easily redeem LCFS credits, which will reduce charging costs by 10-25%. This will lead to increased electric car use, especially among private individuals and ride-sharing services. The solution contributes to sustainable mobility and can be scaled to more states and electric car manufacturers. The project also strengthens cooperation between Swedish and American cleantech and creates new business opportunities in electric vehicle data.

Planned approach and implementation

The project will start in February and the development will follow an iterative process with API development, data integration for CARB, LCFS credit management and user testing. The solution will be tested before launch in February 2026. The focus is on collaboration between Sweden and the US to ensure market adaptation and technical validation, with the goal of expanding to more states and OEMs.
