About Spring Free EV

The speed of adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) is critical to achieve deep decarbonization of the transport sector. The average gasoline vehicle on the road today has a fuel economy of about 22.0 miles per gallon and drives around 11,500 miles per year. Every gallon of gasoline burned creates about 8,887 grams of CO2. Added up passengers vehicles emit 10% - 15% of total greenhouse gas emissions.

The auto finance industry has a massive entrenched ecosystem of loans and leases. Worldwide auto revenues were around $3 Trillion in 2017. EVs are now at a tipping point where the capital cost and total cost of ownership can be lower than gas or diesel powered vehicles. Serial SaaS and Mobility entrepreneur Sunil Paul and accomplished Wall Street executive Cassandra John partnered to found Spring Free EV and launch the Mileage Purchase Agreement (MPA). MPAs are inspired by the success of solar power purchase agreements (PPAs), leases, and loans. Just as solar exploded in growth when these financial innovations coupled with the declines in the cost of hardware and government incentives we see an opportunity to accelerate the adoption and affordability of EV’s

We would love to hear from you if you want to support a leadership team with deep FinTech knowledge and startup experience, including dozens of success stories and four IPOs.
