A commerce media network on EV infrastructure.

VideoEV is a non-retail commerce media operator. U.S. commerce media is 19.3% of all digital ad spend (EMARKETER, Jun 2025). The non-retail segment, where VideoEV sits alongside Instacart, PayPal Ads, Chase Media Solutions, Grocery TV, and Cooler Screens, compounds at 35.1% CAGR. The charger is the 1P identity signal. The session is the captive window at the point of transaction. Amazon Marketing Cloud closes the loop to verified purchase. Below, the thesis, the market, and the proof.

Seed Investment Thesis

Capturing the Last 20 Minutes of the consumer journey.

Commerce media is the fastest-growing ad category in the U.S. and the non-retail lane, operators with proprietary 1P transaction signal, is compounding at 35.1% CAGR (EMARKETER). VideoEV is in that lane: a captive branded screen at the point of a commerce event, with OCPP telemetry as the 1P signal and AMC as the clean-room attribution layer.

The U.S. charging network is being built now. Most operators are running infrastructure at a loss and looking for revenue that does not require them to hire a sales team. VideoEV adds a media layer, a revenue share that costs them nothing and offsets the infrastructure loss.

VideoEV is raising $2M to deploy our first 500 screen nodes, at EV charging locations where session length runs 20–40 minutes and occupancy is predictable.

Why now, the OCPP 2.0.1 window

OCPP 2.0.1 is the 2026 standard upgrade cycle for networked chargers. It exposes the session-level signals (EVCCID, State of Charge, session duration, energy delivered) that prior protocols did not. VideoEV resolves the EVCCID to make, model, and MSRP tier through the Vehicle Identity Graph. We are building the media layer on top of that new signal surface.

Platform Status

Where VideoEV is today.

VideoEV is in active pilot, not a fully productionized network. This strip is the single source of truth for the platform’s operational posture. If a page elsewhere reads as more productionized than this, trust this strip.

Product
Active pilot
Pilot campaigns running on OCPP-compatible hardware. Aggregate pilot benchmarks publish on /how-it-works#methodology once volume supports a stable figure.
Inventory posture
Walled garden
VideoEV is currently a closed inventory network. Demand runs through the VideoEV self-serve console and direct IO with our media team. External DSP integrations (Amazon DSP, The Trade Desk, Vistar) are target paths on the roadmap, not live production integrations.
CSMS integrations
OCPP-compatible
VideoEV reads OCPP 2.0.1 natively. Driivz, AMPECO, ChargeLab, and EV Connect are the target CSMS platforms for the read-only integration. Live event streams are not yet in production; no commercial partnerships are contracted.
Public API
v1 preview (early access)
The API surface on /developers is the target contract for v1. Sandbox URLs and credentials are issued to approved partners during onboarding, not publicly published. Production scale-out is gated by SOC 2 Type II.
Attribution
Pixel today · AMC-ready
Default measurement today is pixel-based. VideoEV exports hashed exposures in AMC's advertiser-uploaded-data schema; clean-room match runs inside the advertiser's own AMC instance once connected. VideoEV does not operate the clean room, and direct VideoEV ↔ AMC live plumbing is not in production.
SOC 2 Type II
In progress
Controls implemented, audit engagement planned for H2 2026. GDPR and CCPA / CPRA posture is designed-for alignment; counsel review pending.
