EVmatch is a mobile app that connects people with EV chargers to people who need EV chargers, allowing users to rent out chargers whenever they are available. Those renting out their chargers can dictate when their chargers are available for use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charging hosts can also decide the price of charging, which allows them to either cover the cost of charging or profit from the charge. EV charging seekers can compare different prices and available times to determine their best charging option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once a charging session has been completed using an EVmatch charger, hosts can either request a direct payout or they can convert those earnings into EVmatch credit. This credit can then be used to charge at other EVmatch stations. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Elements for Success<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EVmatch represents the <\/span><b>direct-to-consumer option<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for EV charging. Users of EVmatch do not have to wait for their municipalities to create EV charging solutions or companies to create more charging access. They can simply use the EVmatch platform to find charging that already exists when they need it.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This solution also <\/span><b>makes private charging as efficient as possible<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
