About Recurrent

Today the health of an electric vehicle battery is a black box. Recurrent is working to change that by collaborating with thousands of EV drivers and introducing advanced machine learning.
Our Mission
By providing more transparency and confidence in pre-owned electric car transactions, we will accelerate the overall adoption of electric vehicles. This is key to reducing the 20% of U.S. carbon emissions that are currently produced by light-duty combustion engine vehicles.

Meet the Team

Our team of software engineers and battery scientists partners with great minds and organizations across the US to accelerate EV adoption.
