Once upon a time, in the bustling metropolis of Electropolis, there lived a man named Thomas. Thomas was an early adopter of the electric vehicle (E.V.) revolution. He was proud of his sleek, eco-friendly car and the positive impact it had on the environment. However, Thomas faced a daily struggle that tested his commitment to a greener future: finding available charging points in the city.
Every morning, Thomas would embark on his journey to work, scanning the streets for any signs of open charging stations. The first few weeks were a breeze, as the novelty of his new E.V. and the availability of charging points made his daily commute enjoyable. But as more and more people in Electropolis began to switch to electric vehicles, the competition for charging stations grew fierce.
Thomas quickly realized that simply driving around and hoping to stumble upon an open charging point was not a viable strategy. He began to plan his route meticulously, using smartphone apps and city websites to locate available charging stations. But even with these tools at his disposal, Thomas found himself circling blocks and blocks, watching his E.V.’s battery level drop steadily.
One particularly frustrating day, Thomas arrived at his workplace with only a sliver of battery life remaining. He knew he had to find a charging point soon, or risk being stranded. Desperate, he called his colleagues for help, and they suggested he try a new app that claimed to have real-time updates on charging point availability.
Thomas downloaded the app and was immediately impressed by its user-friendly interface. He set his destination and watched as the app guided him to a nearby charging station. But as he approached the location, his heart sank – the charging point was occupied by a man who seemed to be in no hurry to leave.
Feeling defeated, Thomas decided to take matters into his own hands. He approached the man and politely asked if he could unplug his E.V. and let him charge his own, promising to return the favor when the man needed it. To Thomas’s surprise, the man agreed, and the two strangers struck up a conversation as their cars recharged.
It turned out that the man, named Alex, was also an E.V. enthusiast who shared Thomas’s frustration with the city’s charging infrastructure. They discussed potential solutions, such as implementing more charging points, incentivizing businesses to install chargers, and creating a community-driven app where E.V. drivers could share information on available charging points.
Inspired by their conversation, Thomas and Alex decided to team up and create MOBIX Park & Charge, a peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplace for E.V. charging. Their app would allow all E.V. drivers to list their available charging points for others to use, and in return, they could access charging points listed by other members of the community.
Thomas and Alex worked tirelessly to develop the MOBIX Park & Charge app, and soon, it became the go-to solution for E.V. drivers in Electropolis. The app not only helped alleviate the stress of finding available charging points but also fostered a sense of community among its users.
The success of MOBIX Park & Charge caught the attention of the city council, who recognized the need for more charging infrastructure. They allocated funds to install additional charging points throughout Electropolis, and local businesses followed suit, further improving the city’s charging landscape.
Thomas and Alex’s friendship grew stronger as they continued to work together, advocating for a more sustainable future. Their story serves as a reminder that even in the face of adversity, individuals can make a difference. By coming together and standing up for what they believe in, Thomas and Alex helped pave the way for a greener, more accessible city for all E.V. drivers.

Of course, this story is only true in essence – the people and specific events are fictitious. What has not been invented is MOBIX Park & Charge – the upcoming marketplace for e-vehicle charging stations. Many of our friends who own an electric vehicle groan when they look for charging stations in cities – while driving past many private stations that are – so far – not accessible. This is exactly what we will change with MOBIX Park & Charge: P2P charging options everywhere and for everyone – from January 2025! #letsMOBIX
