The New Zeem
And you should hear why from me first.
You chose Zeem for what I do. Now I am giving it a name that covers all of it, and opening more of it up to you. This is the story behind that, in two short parts: how I got here, and what the new Zeem means for you.

Stays as it is
Opening up
Part one
01 · The Zeem you chose
I started out running the thing I now sell. I opened the first shared fleet electric charging depot in the country, at LAX, and I have run it every day for more than five years. It is still the busiest fleet EV depot in the United States.
What I have referred to as the move from Zeem 1.0 to Zeem 2.0 came out of that yard. First operate, learn and prove. Then simplify, modernize and scale. Everything good that came out of those years is built into what you run on today.
01
Excavation and switchgear set the pace of a conventional build. So MyGrid is assembled and tested before it ships, set on a skid and installed in days rather than built over months.
02
So MyGrid brings power in months, not years, on grid, generator or battery, and connects to the utility whenever the utility is ready.
03
Not every yard arrives with a hundred trucks in it. So the structures are bundled and shared, which lets a fleet start with the trucks it has and add more later without starting over.
04
Running my own sites and carrying the commitment taught me what power actually costs to deliver: distribution, demand charges, transmission and holding the uptime. So the costs you plan around hold, rather than surprise you later.
05
Charging hardware moves faster than a contract term. So I built platform-first, not around one charger, and your site moves with the technology instead of being stranded by it.
06
So every site I deliver comes with the people who run it, monitor it and answer for it, at my depots and in your yard alike.
You were never anyone’s pilot. Everything you run on was proven on my own site first.
02 · Looking ahead
Running a business well is not the same as seeing where it is going. Led by Paul Gioupis, my founder and CEO, I stepped back and reassessed the whole landscape: where fleets are heading, where gaps are opening, and which needs are forming before anyone has written them into a request for proposal.
That work became my next evolution, what I refer to as Zeem 3.0 and beyond, and it is built on top of what you already run, not in place of it. The platform that powers your fleet will learn from it: every charge, every mile, every asset becoming data, and MyGrid becoming the hub it all runs through.
Today, connecting everything is the promise. Zeem 3.0 is what will let me say full stack and mean it literally.
Every charge, every mile, every asset becoming data
MyGrid as the hub it runs through. Built to sit on top, not to replace.
Simplify, modernize, scale
MyGrid, managed operations, the depots, the financing and the funding. Everything you run on today.
Operate, learn, prove
The depot at LAX, run every morning for five years and counting.
The road will turn again. You should not be the one forced to watch for it.
03 · The realization
Trucks, power, site development, the yard run every day, financing, grants carried through compliance, insurance. All on one contract, with one company answering when the trucks have to roll. The market has a shelf for each of those pieces. It has none for all of them together.
So the market reaches for the nearest label it has, and the nearest label says charging company. You may have felt that yourself, explaining to your board, your CFO or your largest shipper what you actually bought, and finding that the words available made it sound smaller than it is.
And the direction I am charting only widens the gap. If no shelf holds what I am today, none will hold what I am becoming.
Part two
Four things carry the new language: the name for what you run on, the control you keep, the guarantee behind it, and the partner behind the guarantee.
04 · The name
You have bought trucks the same way for decades: one signature, one bill, one company answerable. The traditional full-service lease earned that familiarity by doing one thing well, servicing the truck. So I borrowed the motion and left the baggage behind.
What I kept
The motion you already know how to approve
One agreement. One predictable monthly expense. One company answerable when something needs attention.
What I left behind
The baggage that came with it
An arrangement that answers for the asset and nothing around it. Rates that move at renewal. A service network run on the provider’s P&L and timeline, where a breakdown gets you a substitute truck rather than your own back on the road. And control that leaves with the signature.
The difference is what sits behind the signature. It covers the power and the daily operation, not just the truck. My people run the yard instead of sending a service truck to it. And you keep control of all of it.
EaaS: What it is made of
Six elements. One contract. One operator accountable.
The name for what you already bought from me. Take as much or as little of it as you want.
01
Zero-emission trucks
Matched to your routes, ordered at my volume, managed through the end of term.
02
Power & charging
MyGrid in your yard, charging in my depots. Power in months, not years.
03
Managed operations
Your yard or mine. Designed, energized, then run every morning after.
04
Financing
Own or lease, through my financing partner. Your capital stays yours.
05
Grants & incentives
Found, filed and carried through compliance, with no team for you to staff.
06
InsuranceNew
A new part of the offering. Details are on their way, and your account team can take questions now.
Truck-as-a-Service services the truck. Charging-as-a-Service provides the charging, and not the power behind it. EaaS covers all six, including everything the other two leave on your side of the fence.
What stays yours
What becomes mine
Electrification fails at the seams. Here, the seams are mine.
05 · The control
You decide how much of the operation I run and how much your team keeps. Three ways it works today, all on the same commitment.
Your team, my backing
You run the yard
I stand behind it, on the same commitment, with the power and the support underneath it.
My people, your yard
I run it in your yard
My people on your property, run the way I run my own depots.
My depot
You bring the trucks
Everything else is already standing, and running every morning.
06 · The guarantee
Every plan for your fleet assumes one thing so basic it rarely gets said: the trucks roll. ZeemReady is the name I have given to what I already do for you, run as one service, with one company accountable for the whole morning.
01
The day it goes live
The site designed, permitted and energized before a truck arrives. For me that is the first months of the service, not a project handed over at the end.
02
Every morning after
Charging sequenced against tomorrow’s routes, monitored and maintained, with a person your team can reach at 4 a.m.
03
Year ten
The year the decision is finally judged, and the one I am building toward with you.
5+ yrs
Continuous operation, 24/7/365
400,000+
Measured charging sessions
Class 1 to 8
Every vehicle class
97%+
Measured, the commitment you hold
What stands behind the name is not a forecast. It is the operating record behind the commitment you already hold.
The guarantee was never that nothing breaks. It is a name on who owns it when something does.
07 · The partner
Electrification is a decision measured in years rather than quarters, which makes the operator behind it as consequential as the equipment in front of it.
Profitable
Stability you can plan around
My flagship depot is profitable today. The company behind your agreement is built to be here for all of it.
Backed by ArcLight
Capital on your horizon
An infrastructure investor whose model is built around long-lived assets and long-term contracts. The same horizon as yours.
Five years in, I am building the next ten with you.
Fleet electrification, made real.
Zeem. Miles ahead.
