Yoshi Mobility, a tech-enabled mobility services provider, is embarking on a strategic partnership with CALSTART, a national nonprofit dedicated to developing high-tech, clean transportation. The collaboration aims to drive technological advancement with mobile charging for electric vehicles (EVs).
Last month, EZFill Holdings acquired Yoshi’s fuel division, so now it’s fully focused on non-fuel fleet services and enabling an electric future.
Currently, Yoshi offers the first all-electric, zero-emission mobile charger on the market that can charge at 240 kW and deliver multiple charges in one trip. It also offers an onsite mobile generator, which serves as a turnkey, gap-charging option for EV fleet operators who do not have a way to connect to the utility grid or need to scale faster
The partnership between Yoshi Mobility and CALSTART will leverage 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 companies will work together to:
- Develop and demonstrate advanced EV charging technologies
- Accelerate market adoption of the products
- Collaborate on policy initiatives to support continued EV charging innovation
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 one 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 track record of driving innovation in clean transportation since 1992 provides a framework for this collaboration. The nonprofit’s comprehensive approach spans technology development, market acceleration, policy work, and member support, aligning with Yoshi Mobility’s commitment to innovative mobility solutions.
