Category Standard

Charge Zone is a verified, major player in India's electric vehicle infrastructure sector, having raised over $97M in funding (Series A/B) and operating thousands of charging points. While the project fundamentals are exceptional (high utility, market timing, and traction), the submission itself was of poor quality, containing lazy placeholders like 'everyone' for audience and 'most people' for traction. The score reflects the massive real-world scale and utility of the business, significantly penalized for the low-effort response quality.
