What Happened To The SparkCharge Electric Car Charger From Shark Tank Season 12? On the Season 12 premier of the popular reality show "Shark Tank," a company known as SparkCharge introduced its product: the "Roadie." The Roadie is a portable modular battery and charger that tops off electric vehicles in the wild, without needing a conventional public EV charging station connected to an electrical grid. Additional modular batteries can easily be added to the Roadie to increase its charging power. Rather than sell the portable charging devices, the company was primarily focused on leasing them to roadside assistance providers, such as AAA, with a lower-priced consumer-grade version potentially on the horizon.
