At the core of the partnership is a push to make zero-emission transportation more viable for rideshare operators by building out dedicated commercial charging hubs. These will be tailored to the needs of high-utilization fleets, offering both reliable access to power and technical support to minimize operational disruptions.
The two companies are combining forces: Current brings capital and energy sector knowledge, while InCharge provides the technical backbone, including installation, service, and its existing network of 15,000 EV ports. Their shared goal is to address a long-standing challenge in the EV sector—lack of reliable infrastructure for commercial vehicles—and help rideshare fleets transition to cleaner models without compromising uptime or user experience.
While the first rollout targets the Southwest, the companies have indicated broader ambitions. With InCharge's technician network operating throughout North America and support from its InControl fleet management platform, the alliance is positioned to scale rapidly.
By integrating charging infrastructure with AI-based tools for cost optimization and operational management, the platform supports fleet operators in navigating the transition to electric. This backend support is essential for commercial adopters concerned about maintenance, energy costs, and interoperability across charger types.
Both companies also see this as a stepping stone to broader access to autonomous EV technology, positioning them to capitalize on two converging trends: electrification and automation in transportation.
Rather than focusing solely on infrastructure, the alliance takes a more holistic approach—streamlining the ecosystem around EV rideshare. For local communities, this could translate into more affordable, cleaner, and tech-enabled transportation options.
