Sustainably-minded entrepreneurs, here’s your chance! Google.org has issued a $10 million Request for Proposals to advance sustainable transportation solutions. You can see the complete RFP here.
Google.org is seeking companies with technologies, products and services that will accelerate widespread commercialization in the following fields:
- Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs)
- Electric vehicles (EVs)
- Vehicle-to-grid solutions (V2G)
Some examples of companies or individuals that might want to apply:
- An early stage technology venture coming out of a university or lab looking to develop and commercialize a product (a new type of battery, for example)
- An innovative services business that can play a key role in the widespread adoption of PHEVs, EVs and/or V2G solutions
- A company focused on one of these markets which can use additional investment capital to scale up adoption of its products
- A company active in the automotive or power space that could modify an existing product that addresses a key need in one of these markets
Good luck, those of you who are in that space! I recently watched ‘Who Killed the Electric Car‘—what an eye-opener. There’s a market for green transportation, fo sho.
