Definitely a cool concept. I can see it catching on with people that don't have solid level 2 charging at home/work.
They aren't EV customers yet and won't spring for the add'l cost to have someone come and charge their car.
The cost is an obvious question. Seems like you can't register if you aren't in a service area, so we don't know what the true cost is. The video mentions $25, but doesn't say exactly what you get for that. They repeatedly claim that it costs the same or less than public charging stations.
I don’t know. I could see uses… drive to the airport and fly out for a week? Come back to a car that has just been fully charged that morning. Kids playing in a state athletic tournament? Get the car charged while watching Trevor take a third strike for the fourth time. Have a business meeting 200 miles away? Have the car charged while you’re closing the deal.
AAA and many other roadside service providers will bring you gas if you run out.
I could be wrong, but I believe that $25 is a subscription fee. I believe they are going to charge per kWh above and beyond that.
My employer has a contract with a company that fills gas tanks in the parking lot while we're inside working. Price is competitive with the local stations.
These are good use examples that could make this viable where mobile gas really hasn't been. However, I don't know how many people would use this regularly to pay a subscription on as you mention in another post. Though this does seem like the sort of thing that would be a good ancillary service at the airport parking lot and the like.
