there’s downtime. “You can plug it into a regular wall
outlet,” says Aviv. “That’s the easiest way to do it, and
we provide that recharger to the company.”
SparkCharge is currently offering CHAdeMO-com-
patible units, and will have SAE Combo units available
“in the next couple of months.”
Aviv’s plan is for SparkCharge to work with part-
ners who will use its system to provide services to EV
drivers. “Our business model right now is B2B,” he
says. “We provide the hardware, the software, and the
maintenance for the unit - we provide that to compa-
nies that want to go out and service electric vehicle
ow ners.”
Some of these partners are existing companies.
“We have some of the largest OEMs in the world
that are starting to incorporate this into the services
that they’re going to be offering to EV owners. We’re
launching now in California, and we’ll be rolling out
nationwide with our partners this year.” Aviv expects
to begin showcasing its partnerships soon.
