Charging the Future
Samira Soltani is building the invisible infrastructure behind the next era of urban mobility. As CEO of Wireless PnC, she is removing one of the biggest barriers to EV and micromobility adoption by making charging as simple as parking.
How Samira Soltani Is Building the Invisible Infrastructure Behind Smarter Cities
When Progress Meets a Bottleneck
For years, electric mobility has promised cleaner cities, quieter streets, and a future free from fossil fuels. Yet one stubborn problem has persisted: charging. While car manufacturers race to build faster and sleeker EVs, the infrastructure that powers them has struggled to keep up. For micromobility, the fleets of scooters, bikes, and compact electric vehicles that are redefining city travel, this challenge is even greater. Each night, operators spend hours retrieving, plugging in, and redeploying vehicles across the city. It is a manual and expensive process that erodes profit margins and slows the transition to sustainable transportation.
For Samira Soltani, CEO and co-founder of Wireless PnC, this challenge is not a roadblock. It is an invitation. “Charging still is a bottleneck for EV adoption,” she says. “But with the right technology, it does not have to be.”
Born and raised in Iran, Samira learned early how to adapt and innovate under constraints. During years of sanctions and limited access to research tools, she often built the devices she needed from scratch. “Nothing was readily available,” she recalls. “So I learned to find another way.” That mindset, turning limitations into creative solutions, became the foundation for everything she does today. When she immigrated to Canada and saw the challenges cities faced with EV infrastructure, she recognized a familiar pattern: big goals hindered by practical gaps. And she knew how to bridge them.
The Invisible Infrastructure That Makes Mobility Work
Wireless PnC’s answer is elegantly simple. Instead of plugging in, vehicles charge as soon as they park. The company’s patent-pending wireless charging pads transfer energy seamlessly, keeping fleets powered at all times without human intervention. The result is an 80 percent reduction in operational costs for fleet operators, marking a major step toward organized and efficient cities.
“With wireless charging, there is no need for pickup and charge,” Samira explains. “Vehicles are always ready and powered. It keeps things simple, clutter-free, and scalable.”
The company has already tested its MVP at Centennial College and launched pilot programs with fleet operators in Ontario and BC. Wireless PnC is now preparing for paid pilots in 2026, backed by 1.5 million dollars in non-dilutive funding and a new pre-seed round of 1 million USD to accelerate commercialization. With additional grants expected to match that investment, the team is positioning itself to power the next generation of micromobility infrastructure.
Samira’s technical background, spanning 15 years with global automotive leaders such as Mercedes-Benz and Great Wall Motors, gives her a deep understanding of mobility systems. But her real advantage lies in her perspective. She does not view innovation as a race for complexity, but rather as a process of refinement. Her goal is not to invent gadgets for their own sake but to create invisible infrastructure that quietly supports people and the planet.
A Future Where Cities Breathe Easier
Samira envisions a world where charging infrastructure is no longer visible, inconvenient, or even noticed. It is simply present, reliable, and universal. In her words, “We want this technology to be everywhere, in the hands of everyone.”
Her vision extends far beyond convenience. By eliminating one of the main barriers to micromobility, she sees an opportunity to reshape how cities move and breathe. When charging is effortless, more people will choose scooters, bikes, and compact EVs for short trips. Fewer cars on the road mean less congestion, lower emissions, and cleaner, calmer streets.
That transformation, Samira believes, starts small—one charging pad, one neighborhood at a time. As cities partner with companies like Wireless PnC, the invisible backbone of the future will begin to take shape beneath our feet. It will not be about plugging in but about staying in motion.
“Every challenge I faced taught me to find another path,” Samira says. “Now, I am helping cities find theirs.”
About Flashpoint POV Spotlights
Flashpoint Global produces each Founder POV Spotlight using its proprietary category leadership framework. Every Spotlight begins with a Future Narrative session, where a founder’s POV is clarified and operationalized as the lens through which new categories are built. The result is content that moves founders beyond product messaging and into the role of category leader, helping the market understand the problem, the stakes, and the future being created.
