Grab A Meal At A Lounge With 24/7 Security While Your EV Charges – Getaway Space Plans To Redefine EV Charging

Benzinga

By Josh Enomoto, Benzinga While the future of transportation may well be electric, it’s important to keep in mind that without adequate public infrastructure, the underlying innovation won’t get very far. That’s where the solution provided by Getaway Space – a specialist in the electric-vehicle charging ecosystem – comes into play. Getaway offers a fresh rethink regarding next-generation mobility with a focus on addressing the key pain points dogging broader EV integration. Even better, early bird proponents have a chance to invest in the company through StartEngine. StartEngine enables everyday people to acquire shares in startups and early-stage enterprises. In effect, the platform facilitates a path for non-accredited investors to participate in equity crowdfunding campaigns. Fundamentally, the appeal is that retail investors can secure their stake in a promising company well before an initial public offering (IPO). Given the accelerating growth of EVs, Getaway is positioned in an intriguing industry for many. According to data provided by the International Energy Agency (IEA), nearly one in five vehicles sold last year was electric. Nominally, EV unit sales almost reached the 14 million mark, with 95% of these transactions materializing in China, Europe and the U.S. Subsequently, the total number of registered electric-powered vehicles stood at 40 million worldwide. The growth rate also offers insight into the pace of adoption. In 2022, EVs accounted for 14% of vehicle sales, compared to a mere 2% five years earlier in 2018. To put it simply, consumers globally are voting for electrification with their wallets. However, the transition to EVs has also led to buyer’s remorse for some, with drivers suddenly encountering significant friction that they didn’t envision earlier. But where the EV industry sees headwinds, Getaway sees opportunity. Getaway Space Offers A New EV Lounge Experience A lack of EV charging infrastructure has also been a key experience – and pain point – of the great EV rollout. While more consumers than ever are making the transition to electric mobility, many are also returning to the traditional paradigm. According to a report by McKinsey & Company, 46% of current EV owners in the U.S. plan to switch back to internal-combustion-engine (ICE) vehicles. One of the frustrations tied to EV ownership is satisfaction with public charging availability. While drivers do report that satisfaction ratings have improved slightly, however, the lack of robust progress in this field presents a viable business opportunity for Getaway Space as it seeks to address driver pain points. Although much of the frontline attention is paid to EV sales, retention will likely be the critical metric moving forward. Here, the EV charging infrastructure currently available is largely inadequate to meet rising and evolving consumer demands. Fundamentally, one of the biggest concerns, if not the biggest issue, within the context of EV charging infrastructure is the lack of availability. With availability, it’s not just about the number of charging stations, although that is undoubtedly a key factor. It’s also about the net output or lack thereof. If a charging system is broken or otherwise non-functional to the driver, the solution might as well be non-existent. In fact, The Wall Street Journal reported that approximately 27% of fast chargers in the Los Angeles area were malfunctioning. Another catch-all challenge tied to public infrastructure is inconvenience and safety concerns. The rising popularity of EVs combined with common charging issues can create logjams at popular charging stations. Other facilities may be located in less secure neighborhoods or environments, presenting obvious risks. Finally, not everyone enjoys access to home-charging solutions. According to the Department of Energy, 63% of all housing units in the U.S. have a garage or carport. By logical deduction, that leaves 37% of housing units without such accommodations, yielding a large opportunity gap for Getaway Space to fill. Breaking Down The Getaway Difference Getaway seeks to address the charging infrastructure problem through a targeted focus on numbers and consumer needs. By first targeting Commerce, California – a major transportation hub near Downtown Los Angeles – the company can immediately make a positive impact. From there, management will work to broaden out, making EV integration a more realistic goal. However, that’s just the start. A key distinguishing factor about Getaway Space is that it marries creature comforts with the latest technologies. Even the fastest charging system will take at least 15 minutes to charge a vehicle to 80% capacity, if not longer. Getaway responds to this downtime with its partnership with Urth Caffé. A European-style coffeehouse based in Los Angeles since 1989, Urth offers grab-and-go organic meals along with coffee. Combined with high-speed Wi-Fi, spotless restrooms and 24/7 security, drivers can enjoy their own rejuvenation session before hitting the road. In other words, Getaway will meet consumers where they are, thus reducing the frustrations associated with public charging. With the company’s user-friendly app-based reservation system, customers can even secure their spots in advance. Payments can also be completed through the app, and the company’s stations have dedicated on-site staff to help with any concerns at all, from charging to payment. What’s more, when customers visit a Getaway Space, they will be assured of receiving what they came for: electrons. Engaging ex- Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) engineers, the startup firm will ensure that the design and maintenance of the charging systems will feature minimal disruptions. In fact, Getaway aims for near 100% uptime. While an ambitious goal, if achieved, the convenience alone would distinguish the company from its competitors, which include ChargePoint Holdings Inc (NYSE: CHPT) and EVgo Inc (NASDAQ: EVGO). Moreover, Getaway’s 30 DC Fast Chargers on-site, wide amenities and coffeehouse partnership would contrast conspicuously with both ChargePoint’s and EVgo’s limited facility-based services. Getaway is also focused on building key partnerships with a focus on sustainability to help support its growth, and the company counts CleanTech Alliance and Sustain Southern California (Sustain SoCal) as partners, among others. Lastly, Getaway has also attracted institutional interest. Specifically, the company is projected to receive $1 million in non-dilutive funding from a local utility company under a rebate program for DC Fast Charging. Should it be awarded, the company can utilize the fund to cover part of the installation costs of its charging stations without negatively impacting ownership. Powering The Future: A Game-Changing Solution For EV Charging Challenges? Getaway Space could be uniquely positioned to transform the EV charging experience by blending high-quality infrastructure with a customer-first approach. As the demand for EVs continues to rise, the industry faces critical gaps in charging accessibility, reliability and convenience. By partnering with established brands like Urth Caffé, engaging former Tesla engineers to ensure near 100% uptime and incorporating on-site comforts and 24/7 security, Getaway offers a robust solution tailored for EV drivers. Interested early investors have a chance to get in on the ground floor of this opportunity. With the EV industry seeking retention and not just conversion, Getaway potentially stands at an exciting juncture. Interested market participants can visit the company’s crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine. Featured photo by Paul Brennan by Pixabay.

TRON DAO Unveils TRON-Peg USD Coin: A New Gateway to Borderless Transactions

TRON DAO

Geneva, Switzerland, November 7, 2024 - TRON DAO has officially launched the TRON-Peg USD Coin on the TRON blockchain, an innovative cross-chain solution designed to streamline borderless transactions and broaden TRON’s stablecoin ecosystem. By facilitating seamless and efficient cross-chain transfers, TRON-Peg USD Coin expands the possibilities for users to leverage USDC across the TRON ecosystem. Efficient Cross-Chain Functionality TRON-Peg USD Coin enables seamless USDC transfers between Ethereum and TRON, serving as an essential stablecoin bridge. Qualified users can easily acquire TRON-Peg USD Coin through a streamlined cross-chain process: when USDC-ERC20 is deposited into Ethereum’s bridge contract, the system detects the transaction, mints an equivalent amount of TRON-Peg USD Coin on TRON, and transfers it directly to the user’s TRON address. Similarly, general users wishing to move TRON-Peg USD Coin back to Ethereum can initiate the process through the designated token contract on TRON. Cross-chain transactions between TRON and Ethereum can also be conducted through supported exchanges. Transparent and Secure with Free Cross-Chain Services TRON-Peg USD Coin offers users free cross-chain transaction services. Additionally, its reserve assets are fully transparent in real-time, ensuring that reserves consistently exceed the total supply. This guarantees that users can always redeem their USDC on Ethereum at a 1:1 ratio. Users can verify reserve assets in real-time. Security remains a top priority, with TRON-Peg USD Coin rigorously audited by ChainSecurity, a leading blockchain security company led by security experts from ETH Zurich. The comprehensive 24-page audit reinforces TRON’s commitment to user security and contract integrity. Ioannis Sachinoglou, lead engineer at ChainSecurity, stated: “This Tron-Peg USD Coin bridge audit allowed us to explore TRON’s cross-chain infrastructure in depth. We analyzed the bridge’s mechanisms, as well as the interactions between the TRON and the Ethereum networks. Collaborating closely with the TRON team, we worked to identify and address potential vulnerabilities, ultimately reinforcing the bridge’s robustness and enhancing user trust. We're looking forward to further collaborating with TRON and supporting the security of their ecosystem.” Shaping the Future of Stablecoin Technology With TRON's position as a major player in the stablecoin market, representing over one-third of the entire stablecoin supply, TRON DAO is committed to continuously refining TRON-Peg USD Coin with enhanced security and user-focused value. These enhancements aim to position TRON-Peg USD Coin as a trusted choice for secure, seamless transactions, empowering users worldwide. About TRON DAO TRON DAO is a community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet via blockchain technology and dApps. Founded in September 2017 by Justin Sun, the TRON network has continued to deliver impressive achievements since MainNet launch in May 2018. July 2018 also marked the integration of BitTorrent, a pioneer in decentralized Web3 services, boasting over 100 million monthly active users. The TRON network has gained incredible traction in recent years. As of November 2024, it has over 270 million total user accounts on the blockchain, more than 8.8 billion total transactions, and over $16 billion in total value locked (TVL), as reported on TRONSCAN. In addition, TRON hosts the largest circulating supply of USD Tether (USDT) stablecoin across the globe, overtaking USDT on Ethereum since April 2021. The TRON network completed full decentralization in December 2021 and is now a community-governed DAO. Most recently in October 2022, TRON was designated as the national blockchain for the Commonwealth of Dominica, which marks the first time a major public blockchain partnered with a sovereign nation to develop its national blockchain infrastructure. On top of the government’s endorsement to issue Dominica Coin (“DMC”), a blockchain-based fan token to help promote Dominica’s global fanfare, seven existing TRON-based tokens – TRX, BTT, NFT, JST, USDD, USDT, TUSD, have been granted statutory status as authorized digital currency and medium of exchange in the country.

Minority Developers Secure Nearly $9M in Funding for Sycamore Grove Project in Historic Petersburg, Virginia

Cober Johnson and Romney

The Virginia Development Consortium (VDC), in collaboration with the Mayor of Petersburg, Sam Parham, and Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, celebrated the groundbreaking of Sycamore Grove, a transformative mixed-use development in historic Petersburg, Virginia. The city and state have approved nearly $9 million in funding for VDC, marking a significant milestone in the revitalization of one of the nation’s oldest cities. Sycamore Grove will feature a new grocery store, 174 townhomes developed by NVR/Ryan Homes and A&L Home Builders, a minority-owned business, and retail establishments including Bonfire Wings, a Houston-based business, and Loving Hands Childcare, a minority-owned business from Kansas. This development is a direct response to the community’s vision to rejuvenate Petersburg, a predominantly African American city currently ranked the lowest in the Commonwealth of Virginia for health disparities and classified as a food desert. At the groundbreaking on October 30, Governor Youngkin emphasized the importance of this project, stating, “Petersburg matters.” Mayor Parham expressed his enthusiasm for welcoming businesses like Bonfire Wings to the city. The development team is led by Harold Johnson and Nicole Cober, a husband-and-wife duo who have been in business together with Cober Johnson and Romney, a DC-based firm, since 2015. They are renowned for their work on mixed-use projects in emerging communities, such as the $600 million Towne Square at Suitland Federal Center in Maryland. Johnson highlighted their mission, saying, “With public-private partnerships, we don’t just create buildings; we develop blocks that exponentially expand economic growth.” As the next step for Sycamore Grove, the city will convey the property and funding to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) to begin construction of the grocery store. Nicole Cober expressed her optimism, stating, “It’s a new day of hope for the people of Petersburg. I’m stopped all the time by people from Petersburg, thanking us for doing what it takes for this project. We want people to be excited and welcome them back to one of the nation’s first cities!” Contact Details BDC Strategy Group Sherelyn Weber media@bdaviscomm.com Company Website https://cjrbuilds.com/
