Our story
Ranger EV evolved from work in the ecobadlandz innovation lab and is the result of thousands of miles of EV travel field research. We traveled in and hosted various vehicles, including our electric Rivian pickup truck, the Green Machine, to identify barriers to fossil-fuel-free travel in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
By far, the biggest problem we and our fellow EV travelers faced was the “charging anxiety” we experienced at some of our favorite adventurous travel destinations like the Oregon Coast and the Teton Valley. After many negotiations with RV park owners about the cost to plug in our EVs overnight, the solution became clear—make energy transactions between EV travelers and our hosts frictionless and build a recreational charging network by turning all our favorite places to stay into Ranger Stations™.
