Charge launches e-scooters and e-bikes charging stations

December 19, 2019

Charge, a micro mobility company dedicated to building the largest network of electric charging, storage and service stations for e-scooters and e-bikes, has launched an expansion across the U.S. and Europe. Utilizing its real estate network, the company has secured more than 6,000 locations across the U.S. and Europe to install its micro mobility servicing infrastructure. The company also plans to begin experimenting with 50 electric Charge SmartStations in Paris, Lyon, Lisbon and Milan.

"With some cities housing over 50,000 shared e-scooters from operators such as Bird, Lime, Spin and Voi — and more landing every week — something has to give," Andrew Fox, co-founder and CEO of Charge, said in a press release. "Cities are unable to cope with the extreme clutter caused by these vehicles and the race to build infrastructure for micro mobility has begun. We provide a win-win solution for cities, scooter operators, riders and residents so that communities can implement a safe and sustainable strategy for electric micro mobility."

Charge provides charging and parking solutions designed to bring order to the chaos of dockless e-scooters and e-bikes. Products include:

• Charge SmartHub: Mass charging centers capable of charging over 70 e-scooters simultaneously to support the gig economy of juicers and chargers. Charge SmartHubs are located in dense urban areas to maximize charging capabilities while reducing downtime.
• Charge SmartStation: Battery-powered charging stations designed to address the shortcomings of micro mobility while cleaning up sidewalk clutter.
