WideSense provides AI-powered software and services to help companies design, deploy, and operate electric vehicle fleets profitably. Their core technology is a proprietary physics-based AI that creates digital twins of vehicles and components, enabling accurate predictions of energy needs, charging times, and operational performance. This approach eliminates guesswork by accounting for real-world variables like weather and individual vehicle differences, leading to optimized operations, reduced costs, and enhanced reliability for fleet operators. WideSense serves various industries including electric bus operators, ride-hailing services, service fleets, and delivery companies.
