Hi, I'm Aatish. I built this.
Aatish Patel, officially. I build physical products and the businesses around them, and I've spent the last six years doing that in EV charging: founding XCharge North America, then taking XCharge public as COO.
The Charge Sheet covers the whole thing: the car, the charger, the garage, the parking lot and the utility bill. The business side comes from running one. The home side comes from my own garage, where a Tesla Wall Connector does the work and a NEMA outlet sits in reserve. Either way, the information was out there, scattered and mostly selling something. This isn't. It's free, it's open source, and it will stay that way. Think of it as a gift to the industry that taught me, and to everyone about to plug in for the first time.
Wherever I could, the numbers come from real sites and real data. Where I had to assume something, the tools say so, and you can change it. If you think something here is wrong, you're probably right about something, and I'd like to hear it.
How I got here
- Fellowes MobileSupply chain engineer on injection-molded phone cases for Walmart, AT&T and Verizon. Where I learned that a product is mostly its supply chain.
- Desktop MetalMetal powders, then technical program manager across printer and product lines.
- FormlabsBuilt the Fuse powder product line from zero, set up its supply chain in Germany, and shipped the first SKUs.
- XCharge North AmericaFounded it in February 2021 and ran it for the better part of six years, across product, sales, marketing, HR, finance and logistics. A polite way of saying I've done most jobs in a charging company, including a few nobody wanted.
- XCharge (Nasdaq: XCH)Chief operating officer. Took the company public in September 2024 and ran the IPO roadshows myself.
I studied mechanical engineering at NYU and management at Harvard Extension School. I also grew up around my family's hotel business, which taught me early that a charger is a guest amenity before it's a business.
