Kiwi Charge develops compact, mobile electric-vehicle chargers that navigate parking facilities autonomously, plug into cars on demand, and rely on AI-based fleet software to optimize charger utilization and reduce grid strain. The company targets older condos, rental buildings, and dealership lots where installing fixed chargers is costly or impractical, allowing multiple EVs to be served without major electrical upgrades. Its roadmap includes both a fully autonomous unit for residential and commercial garages and a manually moved version tailored to dealership fleets. With the latest $1.7 million in project financing, Kiwi Charge will build prototypes, run real-world pilots with real-estate and automotive partners, hire additional engineers, and refine its hardware and software alongside Ontario’s AI ecosystem. The firm plans a public showcase of its newest charging robot at the Canadian International AutoShow in February. Financially, the company’s current capital pool comprises a $500 000 provincial grant supplemented by $1.2 million from corporate partners, though no revenue or user metrics have been disclosed.
