Fount Uses AI to Accelerate the Future of EV Charging

At Fount, we don’t just apply AI to speed up development. We use it to solve the specific challenges of electrifying transport.

By combining AI agents with a small team of senior developers, we’ve been able to deliver a platform that normally requires a much larger organization. The difference isn’t only efficiency. AI helps us address the real problems fleets, depots, and charging operators face.

In practice, this means AI is part of our daily development work. It helps us:

• Model and test charging scenarios across fleets and circuits, so we can anticipate grid constraints and optimize energy use.

• Automate compliance and integration tasks for protocols like OCPP and OCPI, saving weeks of manual work.

• Roll out new customer features such as dynamic booking, peak-shaving, and telematics integrations much faster.
  
  

For customers, the impact is clear:

• Faster innovation cycles, with new optimization features arriving in weeks instead of quarters.

• Scalability without overhead, so we can move from a pilot depot to nationwide rollout without multiplying headcount.

• Lower costs, since efficient development translates into more affordable and flexible solutions.

“The real benefit isn’t that AI saves us a few developer hours. It’s that it allows a small hybrid team to deliver a charging platform that adapts to energy costs, grid limits, and fleet demands faster than anyone else in the market,” says Houssam Mehdi, CTO at Fount.

By making AI a natural part of our process, Fount combines deep expertise in charging and energy with a lean and adaptive development model. The result is an independent, scalable platform that helps fleet owners and charge point operators cut costs, optimize energy use, and succeed in the transition to zero-emission transport.
