ChargeSafe founder, Kate Tyrrell, shared with me why she created ChargeSafe along with her own horror story of
, along with her own horror story of going from broken EV charger to broken EV charger late at night in dangerous situations.sharing how EV charging operators need to take women’s safety seriously and have gotten some good feedback from that article. It also led me to Kate Tyrrell, who founded ChargeSafe. Kate and I had a lovely conversation and she shared her own horror story, which led to her creating a solution that would help not just women, but everyone, feel safe while charging.
Kate explained that while charging on the go, she’s had some sketchy experiences where she was in a situation that wasn’t so safe. These situations included charging in locations where there was no lighting, the charger was tucked away in the bushes yet exposed her to being robbed, and the arrangement of the charger left her car fully exposed while she had to focus her attention on paying and setting up the charger.
“I thought, ‘I don’t really feel that safe here anyway, so I’m just gonna move on.’ And I found another charger in a car park about two minutes around the corner. It was quite a well-built industrial area, so there were a few chargers for me to pick from.” “I pulled up as close to the charge point as I could. I jumped out of the car with my keys in my hand. The car’s unlocked because it needs to be to push open the charge door. I had my mobile in my hand just in case something was going to happen and my debit card to pay to initiate the charge.
Kate ended the call — her focus was on safety and getting her car charged so she could get home. She told me that she called the provider again and got a message to the woman that she did get home safely. “I arrived at the charger on zero percent. I made it to the charger because my partner was able to look up exactly where in the carpark it would be located. When you drive in, there’s no immediate signage pointing to where the EV charge point is. You can actually get lost within the service station.
This is when she began to take ChargeSafe very seriously and she asked people what the EV charging networks could change to make people feel safer at charging stations. Kate told me that it became apparent that one of the issues was accessibility and other details like the cable management, whether or not the screen was low enough, or how easy it was for an EV owner to pay for charging.
