Comment on GBatteries (YC W14) let you charge your car as quickly as visiting the pumpparent

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but this seems like a B2B/acquisition play masquerading as a B2C play; your value (if proven) is a superior battery management system (versus the OEM's or a supplier's) and charge controller for non-Tesla EVs (hinging on the battery pack instrumentation architecture).

You're absolutely right; our business model is to license the technology to manufacturers (OEM, Tier 1, etc) - not B2C to anyone with an EV.

Awesome, hope your team is successful.

Why do you say it's masquerading as B2C? It seems like straight up B2B to me...

The techcrunch article tone makes it sound like they're pitching charge rate increases directly to consumers. That doesn't seem to be the case based on the in-thread discussion, but how techcrunch made it sound.
