About Range Energy
Range Energy is a Mobility startup based in Mountain View, California, USA that has raised $32M in venture capital across 2 funding rounds since 2021. The company reached Series A stage in November 2022 with a $8M round led by institutional investors. Range Energy's investor base includes 4 institutional funds, with Trousdale Ventures leading the most recent equity round.
Range Energy develops the eTrailer System, an electrified axle and onboard battery pack that retrofits existing diesel semi-trailers to hybrid-electric operation—reducing fleet fuel consumption by up to 40% and enabling zero-emission refrigeration without replacing the tractor. Founded in 2021 by alumni of Tesla, Zoox, and Google ATAP, the Mountain View team has shipped a platform designed for the 6 million Class 8 trailers already on US roads that cannot be decarbonized through electric-tractor upgrades alone. First customer deliveries are expected in late 2026.
