  • Hello Zapcart, tell us more about yourself
    Dec 22 2025

    Meet ZapCart, the on demand mobile EV charging platform built for the real world. Born in Atlanta as a proof of concept, ZapCart is rethinking how energy is delivered by bringing fast, flexible, and reliable charging directly to drivers, fleets, job sites, and communities.


    In this episode, we introduce the why behind ZapCart and the ecosystem supporting its growth. As members of Atlanta Tech Village and Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC), ZapCart is being built within one of the strongest startup and innovation networks in the Southeast, grounded in real customer discovery, pilot deployments, and scalable technology.


    • We explore
    • Why mobility matters in EV charging
    • Why cities, fleets, construction sites, and everyday drivers need flexibility rather than fixed infrastructure
    • How ZapCart blends clean energy, smart logistics, and workforce development to create new access points into the clean tech economy


    This is the start of the ZapCart story. Local first, Atlanta tested, and built to scale nationally and globally.
