Building enough electric charging stations to cope with the excepted demand for electric vehicles is not a small feat, but one British company is thinking outside the box to tackle this issue. They are developing a range of vans with electric vehicle chargers so that the charger can come to you.

Electric vehicles are the future of the automotive industry. They are bringing vehicles into the 21st century with reduced carbon emissions and greener energy. Every major global automotive manufacturing company has invested heavily in this technology. A new model claiming better EV technology is released every week. Some electric versions of best-selling cars and trucks have actually made a better version than the original, like the Ford F150 truck.

But new technology brings new infrastructure. The federal government is investing billions into providing an electric vehicle charger infrastructure for the main roads and highways across America. But what about when you are stuck for an EV charger and running out of battery, well PLUG charging has you covered.

A UK company, PLUG charging, have developed a range of van that will come to you to charge your vehicle, something that would be excellent if you overshot the mark on how much charge you have left in your car. They use green hydrogen and other environmentally friendly fuels to power an onboard system that will charge your vehicle even if you are not there. PLUG charging’s vans can charge a vehicle at 130kwh and only require refueling once daily.

They can charge your vehicle to 80% battery capacity in thirty minutes which sounds like excellent value for money. Most other mobile electric vehicle charger facilities claim to only charge your vehicle’s battery to 20-30% capacity just to get you out of a fix. Just like Uber, you open their app and order a mobile charging facility to come to your car to charge it. Very much like a taxi.

PLUG charging has created a business that provides the customer with a vital service while being sustainable and green. While good for roadside recovery, this service is perfect for people renting their house or with no off-road parking to install a home charging unit. Since electric vehicle charging facilities are not placed everywhere like gas stations, finding one can still be challenging.

They can deliver an essential service to customers conveniently without them having to leave their homes, just like the many mobile food delivery companies. The best thing about this service is that you do not even have to be there; PLUG charging can come to charge your vehicle and leave without needing to stay. So you can still live your life and not need to be stressed about charging your car.

By adding a service like this, PLUG charging hopes that it will increase the popularity of electric vehicles so that the adoption rate will increase and the automotive carbon print on the Earth can decrease. Plug Charging is set to roll out its mobile electric vehicle chargers in January 2023.
