How I Started A $110 Million Car Business At Age 30 | Founder Effect
When Josh Aviv was a college student, he had a simple idea. If there are too few charging stations for electric vehicles, why not just bring the charge to the car? Three years later, that idea launched the creation of SparkCharge, a mobile charging solution for electric cars. Aviv’s company delivers electricity to EV owners in need and provides them with enough charge to get back out on the road. It’s an idea that could play a major role in the emerging EV marketplace.

How I Started A $110 Million Car Business At Age 30 | Founder Effect
I loveit!!!
This just reminds me that its all about execution!
Great video
Super Smart!!!! Love this idea & how he made a successful business.
can anyone see the irony of delivering electricity to charge an electric car in a car powered by fossil fuel?
I never knew this was an issue since all evs can charge at home or charging stations.
Impressive video. I started a bit late (graduated from my doctorate program at age 30 in 2014 with 170k in school loan debt). Managed to pay off my debt by 2019 and currently have a house and 250k total in investments (combo of profit share, 401k and a brokerage account). I’m not very knowledgeable in investing, so I just have my investing currently in index funds mainly Too but have been putting a lot into Schd the past few months. I don’t know if that’s the optimal strategy, but psychologically it is very set it and forget it, and prevents me from obsessing over individual stock performance.
Right now, things are a little weird. The US dollar is becoming less valuable for purchasing goods, but it is becoming more valuable overall. Due to people investing their money in dollars for security, assets like equities, homes, cryptocurrencies, and precious metals aren’t doing as well as they could. I’m concerned that my $320,000 in savings will depreciate quickly. What should I do with my cash to keep it secure?
Just God dam buy a hybrid. Baby sitting your precious planet saving car with slaves and gasoline?
This is impressive content you have here, There’s something I’d always share concerning working with a financial professional can actually help you prepare for life financial struggles. I’m glad I was able to call my coach John Desmond Heppolette since I was actively cashing out from my portfolio and finally made over 370k just in the first quarter while everyone else was crying about the downturn. early this year.
Awesome 👍😎.
Actually, you could scale up your business by using the system as house batteries to go along with solar power.
I began my investment journey at the age of 38, primarily through hard work and dedication. Now at the age of 42, I am thrilled to share that my passive income exceeded $100k in a single month for the first time. This success reinforces the importance of the advice mentioned earlier. It is not about achieving quick wealth, but rather ensuring long-term financial prosperity.
What this needs are autonomous vehicles for the delivery. Imagine ordering a charge online. Within 30 minutes a driverless van with a HUGE battery (like many hundred of kWh) inside would show up. The owner would start charging his car, adding 30 kWh or 100 miles in 20 minutes if charging at a rate of 100 kW. After charging the van would carry on to the next customer. Once the battery is depleted the van would return to base to charge the battery or replace it for a fresh one.
Good Job Bro!
Honestly a great idea
Great job! Right 😉
ill stick to my diesel. much quicker to fill up and also i trust it to go off road long distance.
here is another problem for the future, do people really want to spend an hour an a half to charge their car on the road, the automakers have to start changing also, they have to find a wat so the car chargers FASTER…. my bolt charges way way slower than a tesla… cause Elon designed it to please his customers so the car charges faster. less wait time.. hurry up chevy
how can i start this business?
Are you Peggy gorilla 🦍 negra
"right"…………"right"…………………
These are great but the figures are random af every time.
Yessir 🇭🇹
Okay, okay, now we’re onto something. I was hesitant to consider an EV car, due to running out of charge.
But, with this service option, I would seriously considering signing up!
We are so proud of you and all of your accomplishments! I am so glad to here that you were the only one to stay after class to talk to your teacher and now look at where you are today. It is so sad to see that you had to have to take a white man with you on Shark Tank just to get money for your business and for people to invest in your idea. That is so sad to see! Keep up the good work brother. Smile Keshia
This is truly inspiring.
Thank you Josh.
A black man… This is very inspiring wishing prosperity to everyone that wants to take care of their families❤
That is a great idea specifically for the transistioning of drivers to electric vehicals.
massive kudos to this man! I wish I could achieve a fraction of what this man has done.
Wherever there is a problem, there is money to be made! Provide that solution globally and you are made for life! Congratulations, Josh!
At the beginning of the year, I gradually increased my stock purchases, but nothing significant. Why am I being so harsh with this? Despite the fact that others in my sector make six figures per person, I still want to be the first member in my polygamous family to earn a million dollars. I am well aware of the expenses incurred by putting in longer hours to earn more money.
4:07 "A little show"🤣
I watch several YouTube videos on how to trade in the stock market but haven’t made any headstart because they are either talking some gibberish or sharing their story of how they made it and I do not want to make mistakes by taking risks in my own hands
such a stupid idea and total waste of energy, now cars need support vehicles so they can get down the road……transporting energy around so someone can charge their car anywhere……..the inefficiency here, nothing green about this. an environmental catastrophe
Interesting, kind of like caa/aaa bringing gas. Yet he’s made it ok to be out of gas, and charging a month😁
I m driving an EV for years but never had issue that ⚡️went out. Cannot understand how this business is relevant continuously, the roadie cames with a diesel truck, which is also hillarious. 🙂
Oh, and I charge only public. Of course not in the US.
Ohh, that’s awesome!! Really bright idea
Josh, you’re amazing
Love these series! Take that you racists! These are only a few of the stories. So many more are out there and I didn’t realize it until I started joining minority investment groups.
Learn how to solve a problem & that’s how you become wealthy. I forgot who told me that but it stuck with me
👏
Similar to cellphone battery pack, it will soon be discovered, a handy battery pack that can charge your car. That one is soon to come also. So this kind of business concept will only be okay if the handy battery pack is not yet there.
Good for him, but yeah let’s use a gasoline vehicle to deliver energy to EVs.. gosh that’s why I hate EVs
Shark tank
what a dumb idea. this is good for gas cars but for EVs typically there are chargers wherever you park.
Booooo Boooooo. Not buying an EV automobile any time soon.
This is a billion dollar company.
Is he currently profitable? This is very crowded market, this is "flash in the pan" business.
