The future of the automobile industry is going to be electric; everyone knows that! However, this comes with the biggest concern of how the EV will be charged if running out of battery in the middle of driving. Although, many companies are working on expanding the charging infrastructure to make it convenient for EV owners to charge their cars while on the road. But, what if you find yourself in a worst-case scenario where you can't even find a charging station?
To tackle such situations, Mobile Charging Services are being introduced by different companies named Repos Energy, Urja Bio System, and BATX Energies. This clearly indicates that EV users will now have the option to book a fast charger right at their location without having to reach a charging station.
Let us dig a bit deeper on how you can charge your electric vehicle while on the go.
Role of Repos Energy
Based in Pune, Repos Energy is a fuel-on-demand service provider which was backed by Ratan Tata in 2017. The purpose of this service is to solve the issue of increasing carbon emissions through the effective and systematic distribution of energy.
Earlier, the company started Doorstep Diesel Delivery. As of mid-2022, Repos already distributed 5 crore litres of fuel through their platform which resulted in a total saving of 14.85 million kg of carbon emission. The company also said that Mobile Energy Distribution is the future and will be the fastest way to make new forms of energy. In addition, Repos is now planning to offer all forms of energy which include CNG, Bio Fuels, LNG, and EV Battery Swapping.

BATX Energies will assemble the batteries, sourcing end-of-life lithium-ion cells from different sources such as telecom, OEMs, and IT infrastructure. Later these batteries will be equipped in a mobile charging truck made by Repos Energy.
How to use a mobile charging solution for your EV?
