RoadToEV Inc., a clean-tech start-up based in Toronto, announced the official launch of its pioneering mobile platform: the RoadToEV EV Charging App. This app connects EV drivers with nearby charging stations while enabling homeowners and businesses across North America to earn income by sharing their idle chargers.
RoadToEV directly tackles critical EV adoption challenges—including range anxiety, fragmented charging networks, and high infrastructure costs—by actively unlocking existing community chargers.
A Community-First Solution for EV Infrastructure
This new approach creates sustainable, decentralized charging access with minimal investment in costly new buildouts. The RoadToEV EV Charging App empowers two core user groups:
For Hosts (Homeowners and Businesses): Charger owners now list their Level 2 and Level 3 charging stations, set their own rental prices, and earn passive income from an underutilized resource. RoadToEV ensures secure transactions by automatically processing payments and transferring funds directly to the host’s wallet after rental completion.
For Drivers (EV Users): Drivers instantly search for real-time available chargers using the built-in map, compare rates, and pay seamlessly through the app. Every listing clearly provides detailed information on connector types (like SAE J1772, CCS, or NACS) and charging speed, helping users confirm compatibility before booking. Users download and use the app for free; however, completed bookings or premium host features require fees.
“RoadToEV is about building a community-first charging ecosystem,” said Neeraj Garg, Founder & CEO of RoadToEV. “By actively tapping into chargers that already exist, we’re accelerating EV adoption, supporting environmental progress, and making charging simple, accessible, and affordable.”
Quick Facts on the RoadToEV EV Charging App
The platform is purpose-built to ensure charging is simple, smart, and sustainable. By sharing existing chargers, the app significantly enhances charging access for EV drivers and reduces the need for new infrastructure, supporting both community and environmental goals.
Anyone in North America can download and use the app on iOS and Android to either find a charger or rent out their home or business unit. RoadToEV establishes a resilient, community-first EV charging network—one charge at a time.
Exclusive Q&A with RoadToEV Founder Neeraj Garg
EV Charging Magazine spoke with Neeraj Garg about how this peer-to-peer model addresses the industry’s most persistent problems and what this means for the future of EV infrastructure.
1. Addressing Fragmentation:
RoadToEV offers a peer-to-peer (P2P) solution, effectively turning underutilized private chargers into public assets. How do you see this decentralized approach solving the industry’s biggest pain point—fragmented networks and range anxiety—better or faster than major utility and government-led infrastructure buildouts?
Neeraj Garg:
Everyone across the ecosystem, whether its governments, utilities or private networks is moving toward the same goal: eliminating range anxiety. But large-scale infrastructure projects are slow to deploy and heavily capital intensive. RoadToEV addresses the problem from the opposite end; by activating what already exists.
There are millions of home chargers sitting idle most of the day. By connecting those chargers into a shared network, we’re expanding public access instantly, without waiting for multi-year construction cycles. This approach doesn’t just add convenience; it changes the psychology of EV ownership. Drivers can now charge “next door,” in familiar, trusted spaces, while hosts earn passive income and contribute to the broader charging ecosystem.
As this distributed network grows, range anxiety fades organically. And by integrating public networks alongside P2P chargers in one unified app, RoadToEV ensures that users can both find and pay for charging anywhere—creating true charging freedom.
2. Host Trust and Reliability:
The success of the “Airbnb model” hinges on both the availability and reliability of the listing. What measures or features has RoadToEV built into the platform to ensure host accountability, promote driver safety, and guarantee a reliable charging session for users relying on the service?
Neeraj Garg:
Trust is the foundation of any peer-to-peer ecosystem. At RoadToEV, we’ve built reliability into every layer of the experience; from onboarding to active charging sessions.
All hosts are required to install chargers that comply with local electrical codes and safety standards. Most are EV owners themselves, meaning their chargers are already in daily use. Hosts control when their chargers are available, ensuring transparency and accuracy for drivers searching nearby.
On the user side, real-time charger status, verified host reviews, and session tracking ensure accountability. Drivers can see availability, usage history, and even plan around future open times. The result is a community-driven system where transparency and reliability are built in—not an afterthought.
3. Scaling and Geographic Density:
RoadToEV is launching across North America. What is your specific strategy for accelerating adoption and ensuring charger density in key urban markets like Toronto, Los Angeles, or New York? Are there incentives targeted specifically at apartment or condo owners, who often have dedicated but inaccessible parking spots?
Neeraj Garg:
Urban density requires creative thinking. In many cities, the charging challenge isn’t a lack of infrastructure given the density of private chargers; it’s access. Apartment and condo residents often live within walking distance of dozens of private chargers they can’t use. RoadToEV unlocks that potential by bridging private and shared access in a seamless way.
We will also be collaborating with condo boards and property managers to introduce shared community chargers in open-access areas, removing barriers like secure garage access. These partnerships will make charging more inclusive and accessible, especially for multi-unit dwellings.
In parallel, our launch campaigns include targeted promotions to accelerate adoption in dense urban centers. Once people experience the convenience and transparency of RoadToEV, network growth becomes exponential, primarily driven by the community itself.
4. Revenue and Sustainability:
For the business model to be viable long-term, hosts need sustained income. How does RoadToEV plan to balance competitive pricing for the driver with attractive earnings for the host, ensuring the network remains both affordable for users and profitable for those sharing their resources?
Neeraj Garg:
A sustainable ecosystem must reward both sides of the equation. We’ve designed RoadToEV to be flexible, empowering hosts to set pricing based on local electricity rates, time-of-day variations, and demand patterns.
This dynamic pricing model enables hosts to optimize earnings by charging higher rates during peak demand or offering lower rates during off-peak hours; while keeping costs fair for drivers. Over time, as utilization increases, the economics naturally balance out, ensuring a healthy cycle of affordability and profitability.
Our role is to manage trust, transactions, and transparency. We handle payments end-to-end, ensuring hosts are compensated accurately and on time, while drivers always see exactly what they’re paying for. That reliability is key to long-term scalability.
5. Future Technological Integration:
Looking ahead, what immediate new app features or technical integrations is the RoadToEV team currently working on? Specifically, are you planning to leverage the control you have over the P2P connection to integrate with home energy management systems or support emerging concepts like Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)?
Neeraj Garg:
We see RoadToEV not just as a platform for charging, but as a bridge between mobility, energy, and data. The P2P model gives us a unique foundation to integrate with the evolving energy ecosystem; from smart home systems to grid-level demand management.
In the near future, we’re exploring integrations that let users intelligently schedule charging based on real-time grid conditions, renewable energy availability, and cost optimization. Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) is the natural evolution of that; where EVs don’t just consume power, but also support the grid during peak demand.
Our vision is simple but powerful: charging should be smarter, not harder. By combining community, data, and distributed energy, RoadToEV is shaping the future of how EVs connect to the world around them.
