About

Smartcar is a San Francisco-based connected vehicle API company that has raised over $30 million from investors including New Enterprise Associates (NEA) and Andreessen Horowitz. Founded in 2015, Smartcar provides a standardized API layer that allows software developers and mobility companies to read vehicle data and send commands to connected cars across over 36 automotive brands without managing individual OEM integrations.\n\nThe Smartcar API enables applications to access vehicle information including odometer readings, fuel and battery level, tire pressure, location, and charging status, as well as send commands such as lock/unlock, start/stop charging, and set charge limits. This standardization dramatically reduces the development complexity for companies building mobility apps, fleet management tools, insurance products, and EV charging solutions that need to interact with multiple vehicle brands.\n\nSmartcar's customers include electric vehicle charging networks that use the API to monitor vehicle battery levels, insurance companies that pull mileage data for usage-based products, and fleet management platforms that need live vehicle telemetry without installing additional hardware. The company's developer-friendly approach and broad vehicle brand coverage have made it a foundational infrastructure provider for the connected mobility ecosystem.
