SPARKCHARGE'S MOBILE DC FAST CHARGING SERVICE JOINS COURIAL'S CHARGING VALET SERVICE TO DELIVER ON-DEMAND ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING FOR CUSTOMERS IN CALIFORNIA

Courial's Clients in Los Angeles and San Francisco Counties Can Travel Hassle-free, Without Range Anxiety, and Have Access to On-demand Grid-free Electric Vehicle Charging

SOMMERVILLE, Mass., Aug. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- SparkCharge, the first company to create a mobile electric vehicle (EV) charging system and network, today announced it has partnered with Courial to provide its clients convenient and on-demand access to EV charging in California's Los Angeles and San Francisco Counties. Through the Courial app, users can easily request and have SparkCharge's DC fast charging delivery service, eliminating the need to search for traditional charging stations and providing a solution that gives flexibility to EV owners in managing their charging needs.

SparkCharge and Courial are helping aid the adoption of EVs and keep them on the road. SparkCharge's mobile EV charging units, The Roadie charging system, and its charging-as-a-service (CaaS) lineup have helped EV owners and businesses charge their vehicles, grid-free, whenever and wherever they need—proving that EV charging doesn't have to be inconvenient or result in wasted downtime.

"The electric vehicle revolution is well underway, and while EV sales are growing fast, the necessary charging infrastructure has not kept pace," said Josh Aviv, CEO and founder of SparkCharge. "While California has an ambitious investment plan to more than double its current 80,000 public chargers in the next few years, with a significant portion in the Bay Area and Los Angeles, EV drivers need better and more reliable options now. They can't wait for a massive infrastructure build-out. With this partnership, EV owners using the Courial app will get fast and direct charging to their vehicles anywhere they're parked."

"Like Courial, SparkCharge is an innovative and disruptive solution that believes in sustainable transportation and providing a localized service, on-demand, that is simple and convenient. SparkCharge is an essential service for our EV clients, eliminates range anxiety, and underscores how Courial continues to deliver on its commitment to be the one-stop platform for just about any concierge requests."
