Like with many products seen on Shark Tank, there was a sharp increase in interest and activity immediately following the episode airing. In 2021, SparkCharge inked partnerships with roadside service providers Allstate Roadside and Urgently.
In that same year, the company also rolled out a smartphone app called BoostEV that allows EV owners to coordinate a portable charge delivered directly to their vehicle in major metropolitan areas such as Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, and others. Similar to food delivery, BoostEV’s Charging as a Service (CaaS) brings charging to EV owners anywhere on demand.
While the initial focus for the Roadie seemed to lean toward alleviating electric vehicle range anxiety by providing emergency charging services, the role has since expanded to one of convenience rather than just strictly for emergency use. Fittingly, an additional partner was found in Spiffy, a company which provides mobile car washing, detailing, and maintenance including tire changes, so getting your EV charged concurrent with Spiffy’s other services is a natural synergy.
“When SparkCharge appeared on Shark Tank, I knew they were on the cusp of something game-changing,” SparkCharge investor and entrepreneur Mark Cuban proclaimed. “The EV market is growing so fast and having a network completely free from the legacy issues of old infrastructure is huge. As an electric vehicle owner myself, getting my car charged while I do other things is priceless.”
