reminds me of an interview I saw with Magic Johnson. Someone asked him, as a business mogul are there any business ventures that he regrets/passed up on. He said yes, he said in around 1982 etc, he was offered an opportunity to invest 10% ownership in a fledgling startup sneaker company called Nike, he turned it down. He said the investment would have made him about 10 billion right now

Managed to pay off my debt by 2019 and currently have a house and 250k total in investments (combo of profit share, 401k and a brokerage account). I'm not very knowledgeable in investing, so I just have my investing currently in index funds mainly Too but have been putting a lot into Schd the past few months. I don’t know if that's the optimal strategy, but psychologically it is very set it and forget it, and prevents me from obsessing over individual stock performance.

Agree with many of the positive comments. Congrats to Josh and well wishes. Mobile charging is a must for those who value time and convenience. These two things are what people value in a busy environment. Also, the issue of finding a charging station to minimize the charging anxiety could be reduced with mobile charging. Finally, with states like California banning combustion engine vehicles in the next few years (I believe by 2030 AND I have so many comments about that move, but that is for another time), it will be important to have convenient places to charge your vehicle.

Pretty cool idea, however it's use case seems more geared toward emergency situations. Seeing how some energy companies charge $0.11 per kwh (offpeak), it seems quite expensive to charge at $0.51 to $0.69 per kwh. Generally speaking most people would like to use DC fast charging which the system can't possibly provide. So you pay for a subscription plus a high kwh?

I think going foward they should consider setting up traditional charging stations (not mobile) to remain relevant in cities. Otherwise, they will be pushed out of cities when so many stations are available into areas less attractive for setting up stations like rural, roads with few centres along, and up country. Unless they'll be cheaper than traditional stations in cities. Having both mobile and traditional will cement their place for the long term.

What this needs are autonomous vehicles for the delivery. Imagine ordering a charge online. Within 30 minutes a driverless van with a HUGE battery (like many hundred of kWh) inside would show up. The owner would start charging his car, adding 30 kWh or 100 miles in 20 minutes if charging at a rate of 100 kW. After charging the van would carry on to the next customer. Once the battery is depleted the van would return to base to charge the battery or replace it for a fresh one.

Similar to cellphone battery pack, it will soon be discovered, a handy battery pack that can charge your car. That one is soon to come also. So this kind of business concept will only be okay if the handy battery pack is not yet there.

I don't currently own a EV. From the outside looking in my question is how long does a reasonable charge take? Reasonable in this case let's say 50 miles. Also are there any plans to offer franchise opportunities in the near future? BTW good stuff really love this kind of content.

@duke C- It takes about 30 minutes for a full charge, so for 50 mph I'm thinking maybe 15-20 minutes tops. I'm also interested in the frachise opportunities especially as final mile fleets go to EV

It takes 2 hrs for my Jeep hybrid to charge, and a few hrs for my bolt euv to charge, but idk how long because it charges faster than it says it will on the screen. We have a level 2 charger installed in my garage though. When we had level 1, the Jeep took 14 hrs I believe, and my bolt took a few days

This is a great business model, it'll be interesting to see how they perform with competition in the market place, but considering people even need normal cars jumped or get gas before they can hit a station it just makes sense. Good on him. It's a nice model.

impressive success, I might want a small startup with my ideas. i'm not warm with the current products they have though. Consider that large EVs like the F150 Lightning, upcoming Cybertruck, Ioniq 5, etc. can charge another vehicle, enough power to get to the nearest DC charger or home. They would find more success by reusing the engineering for portable battery stations for camping, remote work, RV and boat power, and finally a Powerwall like system for residential.

Definitely but they can pivot to a Triple A type of service and well as something like a pop up at major events. But as mentioned in the video, they are making their own permanent charging structures and selling the roadies to companies with EV fleets who need a mobile charging options so they are expanding their business

I think the only EV owners who have range anxiety are non-Tesla owners. The Tesla Super Charger network is years ahead of whatever they’re rolling out these days. This is overall goodness, but the elephant in the room is how no one talks about how great the Super Charger network is. I don’t like how this piece blankets the entire EV market as having trepidation about where they’ll charge their vehicle for long distance driving. Again, this fear is solely with non-Tesla owners.
