Mobile EV charging · built for South Africa

Fast charging that arrives on a trailer.

Pocket Rocket is a 233 kWh mobile power station. Tow it to a depot, a taxi rank, an event or a remote site, and charge two vehicles at once — no trenching, no grid upgrade, and it keeps running through loadshedding.

The problem

South Africa is electrifying faster than it can lay cable.

Fixed charging is slow, expensive and stuck in one place. For fleets going electric now, that's the gap.

Grid upgrades cost hundreds of thousands

Most depots and ranks can't pull 120 kW+ without a major upgrade to the site supply.

Fixed installs take months

Wayleaves, trenching and utility connections turn a charger into a construction project.

Loadshedding takes them offline

A grid-tied charger is useless during the exact hours a fleet needs to turn around.

Demand moves — chargers don't

Routes, events and sites change. A bolted-down asset can't follow the work.

How it works

Charge it. Tow it. Plug in.

Charge the charger

Plug the unit into any 3-phase site overnight, or top it up between jobs.

125 kW AC · full in ~2 hours

Tow to site

Standard ball hitch, under 3.5 tonnes, road-legal. Hitch it to a bakkie and go.

Deployed in under 30 minutes

Charge two vehicles

Dual CCS2 guns deliver up to 120 kW combined, metered and billed automatically.

Where it works

One unit, wherever the vehicles are.

  • Fleet & bus depotsBridge the gap while permanent infrastructure is built.
  • Minibus taxi ranksBring DC charging to ranks with no grid capacity of their own.
  • Events & filmTemporary high-power charging that leaves when the shoot does.
  • Tourism & off-gridGame lodges, caravan parks and rest stops far from the grid.
  • Construction & miningPower electric plant on sites that were never wired for it.
  • Loadshedding backup233 kWh on board keeps charging when the grid is down.
