Chargely

The Electric Era team recently had the opportunity to interview EV drivers at a few of our customer charging stations. They loved the speed of charge, not having to use an app & the high reliability. Check it out below ⚡⚡⚡ What stands out to me when I speak with EV drivers is the uniform craving for a better and more consistent EV fast charging experience. At EE we provide seamless mobility experiences for all Electric Era powered stations using our autonomous and learning software, a 24/7 network operations center, and continuous over the air software updates so our EV charging stations get better over time like a Tesla or Rivian. How else can we improve the charging experience for EV drivers? #evcharging #electricvehicles

I'm assuming this Electrify America EV Charging site at Sheetz in Bedford, PA was recently upgraded through funds available by the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation and the Electric Vehicle Charger Reliability and Accessibility (EVC-RAA) program. (Just an assumption, but all the signs/clues are there!) It's unfortunately a classic example of best intentions paving the way to inequity and inaccessibility. By creating exclusive accessible approach, grid, and route to one spot, what happens to a site when that one spot is down and all others are functional? It means people with disabilities are excluded with no other options. You can also see that the accessible spot is the one site that is a generation behind in design. If I could wave a magic wand, it would be to distribute the spacing at this site to every station, improving safety and maneuverability for all customers. Its the rare case of a site with abundant open space to do exactly that, and have a van accessible space (9ft grid) at the end. #Accessibility #EVCharging #DownForMaintenance

Chargely is changing the game for electric vehicle drivers, building a community that makes it easy to plan road trips and share tips and tricks. Co-founder David Tse recently sat down with Renee C. as part of Mainebiz's On the Record series. Tse, alongside co-founders Carmen Iao and Nicholas Maiello, is part of our Founder Residency program, a year-long accelerator designed to support high-growth technology companies founded by women, people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and other historically marginalized people. . . . #ElectricVehicles #Startups #NortheasternUniversity

Started a writing my own thoughts on EV travel in a weekly blog on Medium. It's a compilation of some of my random thoughts and findings that I've come across on my handful of EV road-trips across the country. Check it out and let me know if there's any place I should check out or if there's anything else I should write about.
