With traditional charging infrastructure struggling to meet fleet demands, how do you see mobile charging solutions reshaping the North American EV fleet market over the next 3–5 years?

Over the next three to five years, we’re going to see mobile charging completely transform how fleets think about electrification. Traditional charging infrastructure simply can’t keep pace with the speed at which fleets need to deploy EVs. Between long permitting timelines, grid constraints, and the sheer cost of permanent installations, it’s not a model that scales fast enough.

Mobile and off-grid charging solutions flip that script. They allow fleets to deploy charging instantly, without waiting years for construction or being tied to a specific location. That flexibility is going to unlock EV adoption at scale because it gives fleets what they need most: reliability, speed, and the ability to charge anywhere their vehicles operate.

At SparkCharge, we’re already proving this model works. Our Mobile Battery Trailer delivers 125kW+ mobile battery-powered fast charging, and our Off-Grid Power Hubs offer 180kW+ directly to fleets across North America—including Mexico and Canada. What we’re seeing is that fleets no longer have to view charging as a fixed asset; they can view it as a service that adapts to them.

In the next few years, I believe mobile charging will become the standard, not the exception. It’s the future of fleet electrification because it eliminates the barriers that have held this industry back.

Can you share how SparkCharge’s mobile and scalable charging models help fleets transition from ICE to EVs while maintaining operational efficiency during permanent infrastructure installation?

One of the biggest challenges fleets face when transitioning from internal combustion to electric is the gap between vehicle delivery and permanent charging infrastructure being ready. It can take months (sometimes years) for construction, procurement, and utility upgrades to come through. That creates a real risk of downtime, stranded assets, and lost revenue.

SparkCharge eliminates that problem. Our mobile battery and off-grid charging models give fleets instant access to high-speed charging from day one. That means fleets can start operating their EVs immediately, without waiting on the grid.

Because our solutions are fully managed and scalable, we can grow with the fleet as more EVs are deployed. Then, when your grid is available, SparkCharge can install permanent infrastructure on your site.

In short, we help fleets maintain operational efficiency through the transition. No downtime, no disruption, just a seamless pathway from ICE to EV.

The B2B EV charging market is shifting toward flexible service models. How is SparkCharge positioning itself in the “Charging-as-a-Service” space to meet these evolving fleet needs?

The fleet market is moving away from rigid, capital-heavy infrastructure models and toward flexible, service-driven solutions, and that’s exactly where SparkCharge leads. We pioneered the concept of Charging-as-a-Service, giving fleets the ability to electrify without upfront costs, lengthy construction, or reliance on the grid.

Our model is built around flexibility. Fleets get access to the industry’s broadest suite of solutions, from battery-powered 125kW mobile fast charging to 180kW+ off-grid power hubs, all delivered and managed by SparkCharge’s team. We handle the charging so fleets can focus on their core operations.

This service-first approach means fleets can scale instantly, deploy EVs anywhere they operate, and stay future-proof as technology evolves. It’s not about owning infrastructure; it’s about owning uptime, reliability, and freedom of movement.

That’s how we’ve become the world’s largest EV fleet charging network, serving customers across North America, including Mexico and Canada. We’re delivering a model that adapts to fleets, instead of forcing fleets to adapt to charging.

From a market adoption perspective, which regions in the US, Canada, and Mexico are showing the strongest demand for mobile EV charging solutions, and why?

The adoption of mobile EV charging solutions is accelerating across North America, particularly in regions where fleet electrification, infrastructure gaps, or logistical challenges are most acute. Here’s how demand is shaping up:

United States

  • California: With soaring EV adoption rates and frequent grid-sensitive events like wildfires, California leads demand for flexible charging. The state’s push into mobile and emergency-response charging models reflects the need to support fleets in urban and remote areas alike.

  • Texas: Flickering grid reliability in parts of Texas has driven a spike in mobile charging deployments. One report cites a 47% year-over-year increase as operators lean into charging resilience.

  • Urban Centers (NYC, San Francisco): Dense cities are using mobile units to charge for rideshare and delivery fleets, as installing infrastructure can be a costly and lengthy process in major metro areas.

Canada

  • Quebec & British Columbia: Both provinces outpace the rest of Canada in EV infrastructure due to generous government funding, strong incentives, and high adoption rates. The resulting strain on static infrastructure is opening the door for mobile solutions to support fleet scalability.

Mexico

  • Mexico City, Estado de México, Nuevo León: These urban and growing industrial regions are leading the surge in EV adoption and fast-charger deployments. Mobile charging provides a vital bridge as the country rapidly ramps up infrastructure to meet its 2030 EV goals.

How does offering on-demand, mobile charging influence the economics of fleet electrification, and what advantages does it provide over traditional fixed charging stations for businesses?

When we look at the economics of fleet electrification, the biggest barriers have always been infrastructure costs, permitting delays, and downtime. Traditional fixed charging stations require massive upfront investment, long construction timelines, and a reliance on the grid. That model slows down adoption and ties businesses to a single location.

Mobile and off-grid charging changes the equation. By delivering charging as a flexible service, fleets can avoid those upfront costs entirely and start operating EVs immediately. Instead of capital expenditures, they gain a predictable service model that scales with their needs.

The advantages are clear:

  • Eliminate downtime — vehicles get charged when and where it is needed to ensure operational efficiency.
  • Instant scalability — fleets can deploy more EVs today without waiting on infrastructure tomorrow.
  • Location freedom — charge in any location, whether at depots, ports, or remote worksites.
  • Future-proofing — as technology evolves, SparkCharge evolves the service, so fleets are never locked into obsolete infrastructure.

In short, mobile charging turns electrification into a service instead of a construction project. It gives businesses flexibility, speed, and economic efficiency that fixed infrastructure simply can’t match.
