What is SocketRun?
SocketRun was founded in 2018 headquartered in Silicon Valley, CA. Our platform is utilizing emerging technologies to secure electrical grid infrastructure, peer to peer energy trading along with our mission to dramatically accelerate Electric Vehicle adoption through our EV charging solution.
What Problem are We Solving?
We are solving grid security issues from cyber attacks, unauthorized access to critical electrical grid infrastructure and cost effective efficient energy sharing. Our on demand EV charging is solving range anxiety for Electric Vehicle drivers. As a result, we are motivating more and more drivers to switch to Electric Vehicles. By adopting a sustainable and alternative EV charging solution, we are alleviating the need for building huge charging infrastructures and in turn reducing our carbon foot print.
