What SparkCharge does

SparkCharge, Inc. is a Somerville, Massachusetts-based climate technology company founded in 2017 by Joshua Aviv that provides mobile and off-grid DC fast charging (DCFC) infrastructure for commercial electric-vehicle fleets across North America. The company's core platform is a Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS) offering built around proprietary, towable, battery-powered DCFC units (the Mobile Battery Charger in 300-500 kWh configurations, delivering 80-125 kW per port across up to four CCS/NACS connectors) and a clean-fuel-powered Off-Grid Power Hub microgrid capable of 180-500 kW of DC fast charging at remote or grid-constrained sites. The hardware stack is complemented by the Roadie Portable modular Level 3 charger and a Permanent Infrastructure (IaaS) service, and is coordinated through a proprietary Charge Management Software with 99.9% guaranteed uptime and 24/7 monitoring.

The company's go-to-market is a zero-upfront-cost, pay-as-you-go managed-service model spanning white-glove, self-managed, and hybrid service tiers, supplemented by hardware sales (Roadie Portable), short-term rental and long-term lease of mobile battery trailers (with non-dilutive equipment financing from CSC Leasing), and project-based event and activation services. Target segments include commercial EV fleet operators, last-mile delivery and logistics (Amazon, Walmart+), high-profile events (2025 Masters Tournament, US Open), automotive OEMs and ports/railyards, and rideshare and shared-mobility providers (Uber, Zipcar). Geographic coverage spans all 50 U.S. states plus Canada and Mexico, with 6.3M+ kWh delivered and 200,000+ charging sessions to date.

In November 2025, SparkCharge launched SparkAI, an AI-driven SaaS planning and optimization platform that analyzes more than 500 real-world data points (climate, terrain, fleet mix, vehicle specs) to generate deployment plans claimed to be 10x faster and 40% cheaper than traditional approaches, with peak-rate avoidance, predictive battery lifecycle extension, and 92% round-trip efficiency. The company has raised more than $55 million in cumulative funding across a 2022 Series A ($23M co-led by Tale Venture Partners and Pendulum, with a $7M extension from Cleveland Avenue), a May 2025 $15.5M Series A-1 led by Monte's Fam, and a concurrent $15M venture loan from Horizon Technology Finance. Investors include Mark Cuban, LG Electronics, Cleveland Avenue, Tale Venture Partners, Pendulum, Monte's Fam, Collab Capital, Non-sibi Ventures, Elemental Impact, MarcyPen, and Horizon Technology Finance.
