Thank you to Beth Zonis and the Cleantech Open Northeast / ACT for having me speak at their event. The Cleantech Open Northeast introduced us and brought us to Boston for the first time, and we have stayed there ever since. Congratulations to the winners! My feedback to startups during my speech: ? Manage the penny, not the dollar. ? Listen to your mentors - their experience and feedback will be vital to your success. ? Small teams with good culture will accomplish more than large teams. ? It takes a community to make a good startup. Find a community that supports your start-up and grows with it.

What are the biggest barriers to EV charging and how can businesses overcome them??? Overcoming the key hurdles to #EV charging is crucial for businesses making the transition to an electric fleet. ?? Infrastructure Procurement: Acquiring and installing the necessary charging infrastructure can be a significant challenge. From selecting the right #EVSE, to long lead/installation times, and high costs the procurement process requires careful planning and investment. ?? Charging Logistics: Managing the logistics of charging a fleet adds complexity to operations. Businesses have to consider factors like charging station availability, scheduling, and optimizing charging times to minimize downtime and ensure vehicles are ready for use when needed. ? Charging Speed and Downtime: Charging an EV takes time. Balancing the charging needs of vehicles with operational requirements while minimizing downtime is crucial for fleet managers to maintain efficiency and productivity. ? The SparkCharge Solution: Solving these hurdles for businesses was exactly why SparkCharge was created. SparkCharge created the world's first turnkey mobile DC fast charging service.
