V2V Startup EV Buddy Announces Launch of Updated Website and Crowdfunding Campaign

EV Buddy, an innovative V2V startup, has announced the launch of its newly updated website, evbuddy.net, marking a key milestone as the company prepares for its upcoming crowdfunding campaign.

The campaign is set to open within the next 30 days and is expected to run for 90 days, with a fundraising goal of up to $1.2 million to accelerate growth. Ahead of the launch, EV Buddy is also seeking interim funding with quick closing to support ongoing operations and pilot program preparation.

The company is gearing up to initiate three pilot programs to test and validate EVChargeShare, its Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) portable rapid charging technology in real-world environments. Two pilots are planned for the West Coast, including one in California and another potentially in Portland, while a third will take place on the East Coast in the New Jersey/New York region.

EV Buddy is also advancing discussions with a major automotive OEM and a leading roadside assistance provider to collaborate on pilot initiatives. In parallel, the company will expand its advisory team in the coming weeks by onboarding industry experts who will help guide its next stage of scale-up.

With a long-term goal of nationwide expansion, EV Buddy’s roadmap targets availability of its on-demand, portable rapid charging service across the United States within 24 months. The company aims to provide fast, reliable EV power delivery for individual drivers, commercial fleets, and roadside service providers, reducing range anxiety and enhancing the EV ownership experience.

A Real-World Vehicle-To-Vehicle (V2V) Fast DC Charging Rescue

Watch as EV Buddy demonstrates a real-world Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) fast DC charging rescue for a GM BrightDrop medium-duty electric delivery van, no tow truck, no generator, and no grid required!

Vehicle Charged: GM BrightDrop Medium-Duty Electric Van
Donor Vehicle: 2021 Nissan Leaf
Charging Type: Portable V2V DC Fast Charging (≈ mile-per-minute energy transfer)
Demo Location: Clifton, New Jersey

In this demo, EV Buddy’s 2021 Nissan Leaf acts as the donor vehicle using EV Buddy’s patent-pending EVChargeShare™ portable V2V charger, providing rapid DC energy transfer to the BrightDrop van. This test simulates a low state-of-charge roadside recovery scenario and shows how its technology is perfect for:

Fleet operators needing on-demand charging

Roadside assistance companies avoiding costly towing

Gig-based mobile energy responders

The Value of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Charging: Powering the Future of EV Mobility

As electric vehicles (EVs) move from the margins into the mainstream, the conversation around charging is expanding beyond fixed infrastructure. One of the most promising innovations emerging in this space is Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) charging, a portable solution that allows one EV to deliver power directly to another. This technology has the potential to transform roadside assistance, fleet management, and overall driver confidence in ways traditional charging stations cannot.

The greatest value of V2V charging lies in its flexibility. Unlike stationary charging stations that require extensive permitting, grid connections, and costly installations, V2V systems can be deployed quickly, wherever and whenever they’re needed. This makes them an ideal safety net for EV drivers facing low-battery situations, especially in areas where charging infrastructure remains sparse. By enabling mobile, rapid charging, V2V reduces range anxiety and increases peace of mind for both individual drivers and commercial operators.

For roadside assistance providers, V2V charging represents a new era of service. Instead of towing an EV to the nearest charging point, providers can deliver energy on the spot—saving time, money, and frustration for drivers. For fleet operators, portable V2V systems add operational resilience, ensuring vehicles can stay on the road even when charging stations are unavailable or in high demand.

Beyond convenience, V2V charging also supports a more efficient and distributed energy ecosystem. As EV adoption accelerates, the demand for charging options will diversify. Portable, vehicle-to-vehicle solutions complement fixed networks, bridging gaps while large-scale infrastructure catches up.

What is V2X?

V2V charging falls under the umbrella of V2X bidirectional charging, which refers to a system where electric vehicles (EVs) are not only able to draw power from the grid to charge their batteries but can also send stored energy back to the grid, buildings, vehicles, or other devices when needed. The “X” in V2X means “everything,” and in this context it covers several applications: V2G (vehicle-to-grid), where EVs help stabilize the power grid by discharging energy during peak demand; V2H (vehicle-to-home), where an EV powers a household during outages or high-cost periods; and V2L (vehicle-to-load), where the vehicle directly powers tools, appliances, or other equipment.

Bidirectional charging is seen as a cornerstone of the future energy ecosystem, turning EVs into mobile energy storage units that can improve grid resilience, support renewable energy integration, and provide cost savings for both consumers and utilities.

EVinfo.net’s Take

V2X is an exciting part of the global EV revolution, transforming how the power grid, tools and devices, as well as homes and businesses, interact with vehicles. The possibilities and great power of this new technology are nearly boundless. Great progress is being made around V2X globally in a wide variety of ways that help people, the planet, and economic growth. We congratulate EV Buddy on its great V2V innovation.
