SOS eCharging

What SOS eCharging does

SOS eCharging is a Greenville, South Carolina-based mobile EV charging service provider that dispatches Ford F-350 trucks equipped with Ford Pro Power Onboard technology to deliver Level 3 fast charging (50kW) and dual Level 2 charging (two 25kW ports for simultaneous two-vehicle service) to customers within a 50-mile radius of Downtown Greenville. The company complements its mobile fleet with the SOS ChargeBox — a compact stationary/off-grid charging unit — and a broader portfolio of municipal services including MicroGrid design, pre-construction analysis, technical assistance consulting, and energy and sustainability advisory.

The business operates a three-pronged model: (1) direct-to-consumer mobile charging sold as SOS Emergency Charge (on-demand) and Scheduled Charge, priced via membership (annual), subscription tiers (monthly), and pay-per-use options, and accessed through a mobile app; (2) municipal/government services for large-scale stationary charging and fleet maintenance, structured around tax credits and green financing programs that eliminate upfront city costs; and (3) channel partnerships with auto dealerships — Jaguar, GM, and Land Rover — for EV prep and post-sale mobile charging across the Carolinas and Georgia. Hospitality partnerships with Hampton Inn and Embassy Suites extend reach to hotel guests through valet-served mobile charging, and a strategic alliance with Renovo Energy extends the offering into LED lighting, solar installations, and battery storage.

Technology differentiators include an AI-powered scheduling system for optimized truck dispatch, real-time battery health diagnostics, and a bundled 10-point vehicle inspection at every visit. The company was founded by Don Mills (President & Founder, automotive industry veteran with 10+ years of EV sales experience) and Mack Whittle (CFO & Co-Founder). As of mid-2025, SOS eCharging had reached approximately 25% of a $1,000,000 convertible note funding goal on the Vicinity Capital marketplace and was named a 2025 SC Biz News "In the Lead" awards honoree.

Broad incumbents

• bp pulse: bp pulse is the EV charging arm of bp, operating fast-charging hubs, depot charging, and fleet charging solutions globally. A broad incumbent with capital, fuel-station real estate, and fleet customer relationships that overlap with SOS's municipal and enterprise targets.
• Electrify America: Electrify America is one of the largest U.S. DC fast-charging networks with extensive metro and highway coverage. A broad incumbent whose accelerating fixed-network density in the Southeast directly conditions the headroom available to SOS's mobile service.
• Blink Charging: Blink is a publicly traded owner/operator of EV charging equipment across the U.S., including municipal and dealership channels. Comparable as a competing provider in the same municipal and dealership verticals SOS targets, but operating from a fixed-infrastructure base rather than mobile.
• EVgo: EVgo is a U.S. public fast-charging network with deep automaker partnerships (GM, Honda, Toyota) and a recurring revenue software layer. Comparable via the automaker/channel partnership model and North American footprint that overlaps SOS's Carolinas/Georgia ambitions.
• FLO: FLO is a Canadian EV charging network and charger manufacturer serving utilities, municipalities and fleets across North America. Comparable on the manufacturing + network services model targeting municipal and utility customers, overlapping with SOS's municipal infrastructure track.
• ChargePoint: ChargePoint operates one of the largest networked Level 2 and DC fast charging portfolios in North America, with extensive fleet and commercial site software. A broad incumbent whose fixed-network charging software and fleet management reach compete with SOS's mobile service and AI dispatch overlay.
• Shell Recharge / Volta: Shell Recharge (which absorbed Volta Charging) operates a large U.S. public and retail-center EV charging network, often at grocery and hospitality sites. Comparable via the hospitality/retail-channel charging model and broad portfolio that could converge with SOS's valet-and-event hospitality partnerships.

Direct peers

• FreeWire Technologies: FreeWire builds battery-integrated ultrafast chargers and mobile/portable EV charging units used by fleets, dealerships and roadside providers. Closely comparable on the mobile/battery-buffered EV charging product and the multi-segment (fleet, dealer, municipal) business model.
• SparkCharge: SparkCharge operates a mobile EV charging network that dispatches technicians with on-board DC fast chargers to charge stranded EVs on demand. Directly comparable as a mobile, on-demand EV charging service competitor targeting similar consumer and fleet customers.
• ZipCharge: ZipCharge offers portable, suitcase-sized EV charging units ("Go") for residential and on-the-go use. Comparable as a competing on-demand / portable EV charging solution aimed at consumers who lack home or fixed-station access, a similar customer pain point to SOS's range-anxiety thesis.
