MubOn (Colombia) — kWh Delivered per Charging Point
MubOn (Colombia) — kWh Delivered per Charging Point
SUI Statement: One kWh delivered through one MubOn-managed shared EV charging point enables approximately 6.5 km of electric driving, displacing approximately 1.12 kg CO₂e of emissions from the equivalent internal combustion engine trip — verified monthly against SSOT IoT data (±8%, 95% CI). Alternatively expressed as: one MubOn charging point delivers 320,000 kWh per year (system aggregate, 2025), serving 22,000 charging sessions at 25–40% utilisation vs. <15% for traditional charging infrastructure.
Company Overview
MubOn is a Colombian cleantech company building shared, IoT-connected EV charging infrastructure for residential buildings, commercial properties, and public spaces in Latin American cities. Its platform solves the critical "apartment building problem" of EV adoption: residents of multi-unit buildings cannot install private home chargers, creating a range-anxiety barrier that suppresses EV uptake even when residents want to switch.
Business model innovation:
The SUI: kWh Delivered per Charging Point per Month
Primary SUI: Energy Displacement
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| SUI Name | kWh Delivered per Charging Point per Month |
| Outcome Domain | Climate — GHG Emissions Avoided (transport sector) |
| IRIS+ Codes | PI7685 (Clean Energy Generated), OI1284 (GHG Emissions Avoided) |
| SDGs | SDG 7 (Affordable Clean Energy), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities), SDG 13 (Climate Action) |
| Application Event | One completed EV charging session through one MubOn-managed charging point |
| Baseline | Equivalent km driven by ICE vehicle: Colombian grid average emission factor (0.172 kg CO₂e/kWh, UPME 2024) |
| Counterfactual | Same trip driven in gasoline vehicle: 2.31 kg CO₂e/km (IDEAM 2024 Colombian light vehicle fleet average) |
| Observed Efficiency | 0.154 kWh/km (EV fleet average in MubOn network, 2025) |
| Net Emission Factor | Grid sourced kWh: 0.172 kg CO₂e/kWh; ICE equivalent: 2.31/6.5 = 0.355 kg CO₂e/km → per kWh delivered: 0.355/0.154 − 0.172 = 2.31 − 0.172 = 1.12 kg CO₂e net avoided per kWh |
| SUI Magnitude | 1.12 kg CO₂e avoided per kWh delivered (or 6.5 km of electric driving per kWh) |
| Uncertainty | ±0.09 kg CO₂e (±8%, 95% CI — driven by grid emission factor uncertainty) |
| Verification Protocol | Monthly third-party audit of IoT session logs against billing data; annual LCA review |
Secondary SUI: Infrastructure Utilisation
MubOn also defines a secondary SUI that captures its infrastructure efficiency innovation:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| SUI Name | Charging Point Utilisation Rate |
| Baseline | <15% utilisation for traditional single-user charging points (ANDEMOS 2024) |
| Observed | 25–40% utilisation for MubOn shared points |
| SUI Magnitude | +10 to +25 percentage points utilisation uplift per shared charging point |
| Financial Significance | Higher utilisation → faster payback on charging infrastructure capex → enables deployment at lower subsidy requirement |
2025 Impact Results
MubOn's verified impact for calendar year 2025:
- Total kWh delivered: 320,000 kWh across all managed charging points
- Total charging sessions: 22,000 sessions
- GHG avoided: 358,400 kg CO₂e (0.358 tonnes CO₂e, or approximately 358 tonnes)
- Infrastructure utilisation: 31% average across all points (vs. 15% baseline)
- Average session energy: 14.5 kWh per session
- Cities operating: Bogotá, Medellín, Cali
SSOT Architecture: IoT-Native Pipeline
MubOn's SSOT is built on its IoT infrastructure, giving it a significant advantage over companies that must construct their data collection system from scratch:
Tier 1: Ingest
- IoT charging controller: real-time session data (start time, end time, kWh delivered, charger ID, user token)
- Grid metering: utility meter readings for each installed charging point (independent verification of IoT readings)
- UPME grid emission factor API: automatic monthly update from Colombian energy authority
Tier 2: Digital Twin
- Real-time calculation engine running on MubOn's cloud platform
- Per-session CO₂e avoided calculation (kWh × net emission factor)
- Uncertainty propagation from grid emission factor monthly updates
- Daily aggregation to the SUI Ledger
Tier 3: Conversion
- Monthly impact report: kWh delivered + CO₂e avoided, by city and property type
- IRIS+ PI7685 report for investor reporting
- SDG contribution statement (SDGs 7, 11, 13)
- Auditor export: session-level CSV with IoT raw data links
Pathway to Blended Finance
MubOn's verified SUI positions it for several financing structures unavailable to unverified EV infrastructure companies:
- Green Revenue Note: Financing secured against projected kWh delivery revenue, with coupon linked to verified impact milestones
- Municipal co-investment: Bogotá's Secretaría de Movilidad has indicated willingness to co-invest in public charging infrastructure that can demonstrate verified utilisation and emission impact data
- NAMA Facility alignment: Colombia's NAMA for urban mobility requires verified emission reductions — MubOn's SSOT makes it eligible
