Get Spiffy, Inc., an on-demand car care, technology, and services company, announced a partnership with SparkCharge to deliver on-demand electric vehicle charging.
The Roadie portable charging system by SparkCharge is designed to resolve the problem of lack of EV charging infrastructure and provide people the freedom to charge where and when they want. The system is a Level 3 ultrafast charger, capable of delivering 1 mile every 60 seconds, the company says. According to the company, that is up to 8-times faster than most wired chargers.
The Roadie portable charging system by SparkCharge is designed to alleviate “range anxiety” that may be standing in the way of purchasing an electric vehicle. For others, the Roadie offers a solution when an EV is out of charge on the side of the road.
People can choose Spiffy on-demand charging in the BoostEV app by SparkCharge or directly in the Spiffy app.
“We are always looking for partners in our mission to disrupt the automotive industry,” said Scot Wingo, CEO, Spiffy. “The SparkCharge team is addressing a huge barrier to EV adoption through modular portable charging, and we are thrilled to be on that journey with them. There’s a clear connection between our delivery of car care when and where you want it and the Roadie promise of EV charging where and when you need it.”
Electric vehicles are one of the megatrends driving automotive change in Wingo’s Vehicle 2.0 model, which also includes connectivity, autonomy, and changing ownership models. While EVs are the fastest moving piece of that puzzle, infrastructure limitations always stand in the way of meaningful progress, the company says.
“Removing the hurdles of owning and driving an electric vehicle is fundamental to SparkCharge,” said Josh Aviv, CEO, SparkCharge. “We want to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles on a global scale to create a cleaner, healthier, safer, and more sustainable world. We are excited to welcome Spiffy into the BoostEV network and partner with them to deliver on-demand charging.”
Spiffy on-demand charging is now piloting in the Raleigh, Charlotte, and Atlanta metro areas.
