Rei Vardi, CEO and Founder, Eon EV Car Rental Company

Hello, Lucid fans! I am delighted to welcome Rei Vardi, CEO and founder of Eon as my guest on this week’s Lucid Driver podcast. According to https://www.eonrides.com, Eon is the leading EV car rental company in the US, providing customers with an unmatched driving experience. Rei started Eon in college with his own car and has grown it into a practical solution for reducing emissions in transportation, and enabling a shared economy of electric vehicles that also lowers the carbon footprint of driving. Eon recently added Lucid to its platform. We’ll discuss a wide range of topics relating to EVs, mobility, the shared car economy, and other matters. 

Rei Vardi is the founder and CEO of Eon, a bootstrapped national EV rental platform he started in 2018 from his dorm room at Boston University - after renting out his dad's Tesla ended in scratched panels, a stranded renter, and one bank robbery. That chaos became the insight behind Eon: a car is a computer on wheels, so let the software run the rental. Today Eon connects renters to thousands of premium EVs across 50+ cities, with no counters, no paperwork, and drivers in the car in 40 seconds. With $0 raised, Eon has paid car owners over $10M, verified 25,000+ drivers, and saved an estimated 16 million pounds of CO₂ - all while staying profitable and growing entirely through word of mouth.
