[Note from editor: The “Mastermind Showcase” highlights companies and news from members of GEM Diamond. Today’s showcase comes from the 2025 REACH Class: BreatheEV]

BreatheEV delivers turnkey electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions tailored for multifamily residential properties. Their platform enables property owners to install charging infrastructure with minimal upfront cost, share in charging revenue, and let residents reserve charging stations in advance. The system includes analytics tools for property owners (usage data, energy consumption, revenue reporting) to understand how chargers are being used and how to maximize their value. Their business model aims for minimal upfront cost to property owners, helping set up or manage the infrastructure in a way that property owners can recoup costs over time rather than bearing a large initial expense. They work with different hardware providers, meaning the software can manage various types of EV chargers rather than being locked into one vendor.

What we like: Combining reservation-based EV charging for residents with a revenue-sharing model to offset installation and operational costs, in a hardware agnostic way, positions BreatheEV well to help multifamily owners and operators increase property values and rental rates.
