Also, as it is a private company, retail investors cannot buy the SparkCharge stock. Private companies generally raise money through venture capital firms or private investors.
Retail investors only get a chance to get hold of a company's stock when it goes public in an equity market. Notably, SparkCharge attracts potential investors due to its innovative technology.
SparkCharge is expanding, and it created the world's first mobile EV charging network. The company allows EV drivers to charge their vehicles anytime and anywhere they want by giving them countless hours back.
Also, in 2022, the mobile EV startup has reportedly partnered with various global brands to offer them its mobile charging services. SparkCharge has reportedly partnered with Uber, Hertz, and Kia Motors.
