Autonomous & Rideshare

Launch and scale your AV fleet without waiting on the grid

Autonomous rideshare fleets are expanding into new cities fast, and don’t have time to wait for multi-year charging infrastructure installations that require lengthy grid upgrades.

Trusted by all major rideshare providers, L-Charge brings DC fast charging to your depot in weeks, powered by an on-site microgrid. No utility upgrade, no upfront capital, no demand charges.

The problem

What slows AV and rideshare launches

Access to power and charging infrastructure has become one of the biggest barriers to scaling autonomous vehicle fleets.

  1. Waiting on the utility

    Grid upgrades can push market entry back by more than a year, while vehicles and launch plans sit on hold.

  2. Depot buildout costs

    Hardware, construction, trenching and utility work can top $1M before a single vehicle plugs in.

  3. Tight launch windows

    New cities and pilot programs run on fixed dates. Charging should never be the thing that pushes them back.

  4. Peak power penalties

    When a full fleet plugs in at once on a grid-tied site, demand charges stack up on every bill.

  5. Limited sites

    Short-term leases, landlord rules and lots without enough grid power shrink the list of places you can charge.

Put Capital into Cars, Not Concrete

With our charging-as-a-service model, your capital is freed up to invest in your business rather than costly grid upgrades.

Uptime Your Operations Can Count On

Engineered for fleets that can’t afford downtime, unlike a basic generator setup.

98%average uptime with built-in resiliency
ReadyBattery storage keeps chargers ready the moment a vehicle arrives
EfficientGenerators cycle less and burn less fuel
ResilientParallel architecture so charging continues if one unit goes offline

The L-Charge Core intelligent power hub coordinates generation, storage and chargers, keeps vehicles charging while generators are serviced, and manages fuel use to hold down your cost per kWh.

Service and Support Built for Fleet Scale

When hundreds of EVs come through your site each day, service and support matter as much as the charging hardware. Our service team provides turnkey operations support, and you choose the level of service that fits your site.

From charger, generator and fuel inspection to vehicle cleaning, repair logistics and staffing for key operations, we take on as much or as little of the daily work as you need, and handle all reporting and safety requirements along the way.
