The disclosed funding amounts in Los Angeles Energy entries are highly uneven: EVgo’s $225M round on 2025-07-23 is the only disclosed figure above $50M, dwarfing the next-largest disclosed amount of $80M (CarbonCapture on 2024-03-12) and placing most other disclosed rounds far lower (e.g., $18M ChargerHelp! on 2023-02-14; $10M WasteFuel on 2023-07-06). On stage and labeling, Series is often not consistently classified: five of 14 rows show “undisclosed” or blank amounts (Intrinsic Power on 2024-03-11; Olokun Minerals on 2023-10-18; Veloce Energy on 2023-04-06; plus undisclosed amounts for both “Series Unknown” and “undisclosed” classifications like EVgo’s Series Unknown is disclosed, but Intrinsic Power/Olokun/Veloce are not), and “Series Unknown” appears in two rows (EVgo 2025-07-23 for $225M; Arbor Energy 2024-10-18 for $7M).
Dates cluster toward 2024 and 2023: 2024 accounts for six of 14 rows (from 2024-03-11/03-12 to 2024-10-18/09-19), including multiple March 2024 entries (CarbonCapture on 2024-03-12 for $80M; Intrinsic Power on 2024-03-11, undisclosed), while 2023 contains four more entries spanning 2023-04-06 through 2023-10-18. The oldest row shown is Humble Motors on 2021-05-07 ($1M), and the most recent is EVgo on 2025-07-23 ($225M), indicating a multi-year run-up rather than a single short-term spike in activity.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Los Angeles energy set, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
EVgo’s $225M on 2025-07-23 is the only disclosed round above $50M; the next-largest disclosed is CarbonCapture at $80M on 2024-03-12. Most other disclosed rounds sit well below that level, including $18M (ChargerHelp! on 2023-02-14) and $10M (WasteFuel on 2023-07-06).
Do the rounds cluster in a narrow time window, or are they spread evenly across years?
They cluster around 2024 and 2023: six of 14 rows are dated in 2024 (2024-03-11/03-12 through 2024-10-18), with two consecutive days in March 2024 (CarbonCapture on 2024-03-12 for $80M and Intrinsic Power on 2024-03-11 with undisclosed amount). Another four rows fall in 2023 (2023-04-06 through 2023-10-18).
Are there disclosure outliers that affect how to benchmark the segment by disclosed funding only?
Yes: at least three companies have undisclosed amounts despite being in the Los Angeles list—Intrinsic Power (2024-03-11), Olokun Minerals (2023-10-18), and Veloce Energy (2023-04-06). That means comparisons based only on disclosed amounts can overstate funding concentration because EVgo ($225M on 2025-07-23) becomes even more dominant versus the disclosed set.
Which stage labels appear most often among the disclosed rows?
Among the rows with explicit stage labels, Seed and Series A are each repeated multiple times: Seed appears for Better Earth (2024-09-19 for $360K), Haven Energy (2023-04-11 for $4M), and Panelite (2022-01-10 for $800K), while Series A appears for Veloce Energy (2023-04-06, undisclosed), ChargerHelp! (2023-02-14 for $18M), and TRL11 is labeled Pre-Seed rather than Series A. Several entries also use broader/less specific labels such as “Private Equity” (8minute Solar Energy on 2022-01-19 for $400M).
What does the recent-vs-oldest edge look like in this dataset?
The range spans from Humble Motors on 2021-05-07 ($1M) to EVgo on 2025-07-23 ($225M). The most recent 2025 entry is a single datapoint (EVgo), while the older end includes multiple 2022 and 2023 entries such as 8minute Solar Energy at $400M on 2022-01-19 and ChargerHelp! at $18M on 2023-02-14.
