Yoshi Mobility saw that its existing customers needed mobile EV charging in places where infrastructure has yet to be installed, so the Nashville-based company decided to bring the mountain to Moses. "We recognized a demand among our customers for convenient daily charging, reliable private charging networks, and proper charging infrastructure to support their fleet vehicles as they transition to electric," said Dan Hunter, Yoshi Mobility's chief EV officer and cofounder. The company says its 240 kW mobile DC fast charger, which can turn "any EV" into a mobile charging unit, is the first fully electric mobile charger available. It can provide multiple charges in a single trip but doesn't detail how they charge the DC fast charger or who manufactured it. (I asked for more details, and they replied that they won't disclose client names or the manufacturer of its DC fast charger yet.) Yoshi is launching its mobile charger on two GM BrightDrop Zevo 600s and will introduce additional vehicles throughout 2024. It aims for full commercialization by Q1 2025. (I wonder if the Zevo 600 ever charges itself? Yes, I asked that too.) [EV-mobile-charging-with-Yoshi-Mobility-1] Yoshi Mobility says it's already deployed its EV charging solutions to service "major OEMs, autonomous vehicle companies, and rideshare operators" across the US. Its initial customers are made up of large EV operators managing "hundreds" of light-duty vehicles requiring up to 1 megawatt of energy per day that don't yet have grid-connected EV chargers. I've asked Yoshi for details of who it's working with, and will update if they share that info. The company says pricing is based on location and enterprise charging needs. Once under contract for service, the service will be deployed to US-based customers within 10 days. Top comment by Arno Hayes Liked by 5 people An important part of the puzzle. About time.
