More Than 250 E-Scooter Docking Stations Coming To Atlanta

ATLANTA -- GetCharged, Inc. (Charge), a New York-based manufacturer of charging, storage and service stations for e-scooters and e-bikes, today announced it has secured over 250 charging station locations in Atlanta, with the first 25 installations to be up and running in the next few months. The company has partnered with local parking operators and real estate owners to secure more than 250 private locations throughout the city to install its docking stations in its first key North American market.

Buckhead, Midtown and downtown Atlanta are the sites for most of the stations, according to a map provided by the company.

“Atlanta represents an ideal and timely market for Charge’s first city installations, as the local micromobility movement is flourishing with more than 10,000 shared e-scooters permitted on the city’s streets," said Charge CEO, Andrew Fox. "The city recognizes the issues with dockless systems and is starting to crack down on e-scooter companies, having recently issued more than $100K in fines and impound fees, and it is time for the community to have a workable solution that solves these issues and empowers the micromobility industry.”

“As the city of Atlanta continues to grow, so has the need for alternative, eco-friendly modes of transportation like e-scooters and e-bikes,” said Andrea Boone, council member and vice-chair of the city council’s public safety committee. “But these innovative transportation solutions, while fantastic for so many reasons, have cluttered our city streets and sidewalks. We would welcome a solution that addresses the safety and aesthetic issues caused by these devices.”

Charge has also developed a mobile application that will allow customers to locate and use e-scooters and e-bikes through interfacing with its docking stations and provide users with available real-time locations. The app will also be integrated with partnered rideshare platforms to identify available e-vehicles and their level of charge, providing cutomers with a one-stop-shop for shared mobility services.
