The Problem
Electric vehicle adoption is often hindered by "range anxiety" and the lack of a pervasive charging network. While commercial stations are growing, they are often concentrated in specific zones. Meanwhile, thousands of home chargers sit idle for 20+ hours a day.
The Solution
ShareCharge is a marketplace that connects private charger owners (Hosts) with EV drivers (Travelers). By turning every residential driveway into a potential charging hub, we can expand infrastructure overnight without massive capital expenditure. Hosts earn passive income, and drivers gain access to charging in underserved areas.
