The partnership will continue to develop and implement
innovative EV charging solutions
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 13,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Yoshi Mobility, a leading
tech-enabled mobility services provider, is embarking on a
strategic partnership with CALSTART, a national nonprofit dedicated
to developing a high-tech clean transportation industry. This
collaboration aims to drive technological advancement with mobile
charging for electric vehicles (EVs).
Last month, Yoshi Mobility's fuel division was acquired by
EZFill Holdings (NASDAQ: EZFL) so the company is now focused on
non-fuel fleet services and enabling an electric future. The
partnership between Yoshi Mobility and CALSTART leverages the
latter's extensive experience in clean transportation development
and Yoshi Mobility's innovative approach to EV charging and
mobility technologies. By joining forces, the two organizations
will work together to:
- Develop and demonstrate cutting-edge EV charging
technologies
- Accelerate market adoption of these emerging technologies
- Collaborate on policy initiatives to support continued EV
charging innovation
"This partnership is one of many steps we're taking towards a
broader rollout of our mobile EV charging solutions," said
Bryan Frist, CEO & Co-Founder of
Yoshi Mobility. "By collaborating with CALSTART, we're not just
developing these new technologies - we're working together on where
they can be most quickly deployed to fill gaps in the EV charging
ecosystem."
To date, Yoshi Mobility has provided EV charging solutions
to major OEMs, autonomous vehicle companies, and rideshare
operators across the country. Its enterprise customers consist of
large EV operators managing hundreds of light-duty vehicles
requiring up to 1 megawatt of energy per day. The EV charging
solutions provide a turnkey gap-charging option for EV fleet
operators who do not have a way to get connected to the utility
grid to charge their vehicles. Yoshi Mobility also provides on-site
preventative maintenance for fleets and virtual vehicle inspections
for partners like Uber and Turo.
CALSTART's proven track record of driving innovation in clean
transportation since 1992 provides a robust framework for this
collaboration. The nonprofit's comprehensive approach - spanning
technology development, market acceleration, policy work, and
member support - aligns with Yoshi Mobility's commitment to
innovative mobility solutions.
"We're excited to welcome Yoshi Mobility to our team of clean
transportation leaders," said Jared
Schnader, Vice President of Members Services at
CALSTART.
