CHARGEASY! THE AIRBNB OF EV CHARGING!

EV Channels Review

This episode of the EV Geek podcast features an insightful interview with Kelly Norton, COO of ChargEasy, a company aiming to revolutionize EV charging accessibility. ChargEasy positions itself as the 'Airbnb of charging stations,' enabling homeowners and businesses to rent out their existing EV chargers for passive income. Key features highlighted include a global geolocating system, pre-scheduling capabilities, and integration with car navigation systems. The platform allows hosts to set their own pricing, with options for seasonal adjustments, and leverages data analytics to help optimize earnings. While the concept is particularly beneficial for rural areas lacking infrastructure, the company is also working to overcome challenges related to charger availability and user adoption in the US, where indoor chargers are common. ChargEasy plans to integrate AI and explore other energy sources, with a five-year goal of 100,000 users across the US and international markets.
