Bee Charged EV Brings Mobile Charging Service to Washington DC Area Airports

Bee Charged EV has launched mobile electric vehicle charging services across the Washington DC metro area, establishing partnerships with airports in Virginia, Maryland, and DC to provide emergency charging for stranded EV drivers.

The service covers Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Washington Dulles International Airport, and Baltimore-Washington International Airport. Bee Charged EV has positioned mobile charging units near these airports to respond to emergency calls within 15-20 minutes.

"We kept hearing from EV drivers who got stuck at airports with dead batteries," said Antony Okuribido, founder of Bee Charged EV. "Maybe they miscalculated their range, or the charging station was broken, or they couldn't find one. Airport parking lots became these anxiety zones for EV owners."

The company uses mobile charging robots that can drive directly to stranded vehicles. These units carry enough power to either get a car to the nearest charging station or provide a full charge on-site, depending on what the customer needs.

Filling Gaps in Regional Charging Network

Okuribido started Bee Charged EV after his own experience running out of power in his Tesla on I-95. "I sat there for three hours waiting for a tow truck that didn't know how to handle an EV," he recalled. "That's when I realized there had to be a better way."

The DC area expansion includes coverage throughout Northern Virginia, Maryland suburbs, and the District itself. The mobile units operate around the clock, with technicians on standby for emergency calls.

Airport partnerships made sense because travelers often arrive with low batteries or face unexpected delays that drain their charge while parked. Business travelers especially appreciated not having to hunt for charging stations in unfamiliar areas.

"Last month we helped a family from Ohio whose Model Y died in the Reagan National parking garage," Okuribido said. "They had three kids and luggage, and the nearest public charger had a two-hour wait. We had them back on the road in 25 minutes."

The service works with all EV brands, not just Tesla. Technicians carry adapters for Ford Lightning, Chevy Bolt, BMW i4, and other popular models. They can provide Level 2 or DC fast charging depending on the situation.

Response times average 15-20 minutes for airport locations, though this can stretch during severe weather or heavy traffic. Service areas include Alexandria, Arlington, Bethesda, Silver Spring, Fairfax, and surrounding communities.

The company charges a flat service fee plus the cost of electricity delivered. Monthly memberships are available for frequent travelers or local residents who want guaranteed emergency coverage.

Beyond airports, Bee Charged EV responds to calls from shopping centers, office buildings, and residential areas where people get stranded. They also provide scheduled charging for businesses running electric delivery fleets.

"We're not trying to replace charging stations," Okuribido explained. "We're the safety net for when things go wrong. Every EV driver has that moment where they wonder 'what if I don't make it?' We eliminate that worry."

The DC metro area has seen rapid EV adoption, with Virginia offering rebates up to $2,500 and Maryland providing tax credits for electric vehicle purchases. DC itself has committed to installing 15,000 new charging ports by 2030.

However, charging infrastructure hasn't kept pace with demand. Popular stations often have long waits, and equipment failures can leave drivers stranded. Bee Charged EV aims to bridge these gaps with on-demand mobile service.

The company plans to add more mobile units as demand grows. They're also exploring partnerships with car dealerships, rental agencies, and rideshare companies operating electric fleets.

EV drivers can request service through the Bee Charged EV app or by calling 888-675-9555. The dispatch center operates 24/7 and can typically provide arrival time estimates within minutes of receiving a call.

"People always ask if this is really necessary," Okuribido said. "I tell them to imagine being stuck with a dead phone battery and no charger. That's what it feels like when your EV dies and you're miles from help. We make sure that never happens."

Service coverage includes Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and Maryland, with plans to expand into other Mid-Atlantic markets later this year.
