Media Quotes
“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. The city of Atlanta 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.”
“The micro-mobility movement that has taken major cities around the world by storm offers many advantages to travelers and addresses issues related to short-distance commuting,” said CEO Andrew Fox. “But there are significant problems with the dockless model, including unused e-vehicles cluttering city streets and sidewalks.”
“We’re hopeful New York will embrace innovation with this bill and unlock the many benefits micro mobility offers,” Charge CEO Andrew Fox said. “Charge is ready to provide a solution for the sidewalk clutter other cities around the world are grappling with by carving out a home for e-bikes and scooters. New York should learn from other cities’ mistakes by using Charge to keep sidewalks clean, while boosting green transportation providing new options to those living in transit deserts.”

“We don’t think that NYC has the ample sidewalk space to properly do this,” said Charge CEO Andrew Fox. “There are still pedestrians on sidewalks who deserve the right not to have to climb over things. That’s what we’re seeing in California right now, a tremendous amount of micro-mobility devices littering the streets.”
“What I see as the future of a smart city is we need to have the infrastructure to support micro-mobility,” he says. “So we are building out that worldwide network to support the ambitions of micro-mobility.” Local governments, says Fox, need to figure out how to better incorporate e-scooters, but they need to do so without compromising the integrity of their cities."
" are significant problems with the dockless model, including unused e-vehicles cluttering city streets and sidewalks," Andrew Fox, Charge’s co-founder and CEO, said in a statement.
