The article discusses the dilemma fleets face in electrifying their vehicles, emphasizing the need for charging infrastructure to accompany fleet purchases. Joshua Aviv, founder of SparkCharge, highlights that many fleets approach them unprepared, with vehicles ready but lacking charging options. SparkCharge now provides "charging-as-a-service," allowing fleets to purchase electricity as needed. The company has raised $15.5 million in a recent funding round and expanded its services into North America. Despite improvements in fast-charging technology, challenges remain, particularly for fleets in less populated areas.
"There's a lot of fleets out there that are like, 'Hey, I'm in middle of America.' They face unique challenges due to the uneven distribution of charging infrastructure."
"When fleets approach us, they often have a clear need; the cars are ready, but they lack the means to charge them effectively."
