A charging network's equipment fails. The customer gets charged a penalty anyway.

Customer service can't fix it without escalation.

This is utility thinking. We're building for hospitality thinking.

We’re excited to be partnering with Juice to bring Plug-and-Go technology to every Rangeway location!

Your vehicle is recognized automatically, and payment is processed when you unplug.

It works with every EV from day one.

The EV charging industry spent a decade deploying infrastructure.

Now it needs to learn hospitality.

Drivers spend 20-40 minutes charging. That's a stay, not a transaction. Yet the industry built these stops as if humans don't exist.

Average EV charging session: 35 minutes
Average gas station visit: 5 minutes

That 30-minute difference?

It can either be a problem or a premium experience.

We're betting on experience.

World EV Day reminds us why we're here: transforming necessary charging stops into memorable moments along America's scenic highways.

Where every 20-minute charge comes with ocean views and local coffee.

The road ahead is electric and beautiful.
