And it was like really frustrating for me.
And most of the times, like, you know, being the kind of person I am, I would not really like fill up right when I see the dashboard right.
So I would see, oh, there's still like 30, 40, 50 miles on the remaining, right?
So you end up in a situation where you're getting late to a meeting or want to get somewhere fast, and then you have to go fill up.
so that's how it started and then the initial idea was that we would just you know go to people's houses uh say sunday night uh top up their car you know drive their car to the nearby gas station top it up and bring it back and we thought like the first i uh the first reaction in my mind was well no one's going to give handover a stranger their key to their cars right so we were like okay this is not going to work until i see until i saw a
five gallon gas can at Home Depot, right?
And then we started going to our friends, relatives, like, okay, we're going to fill up your car every week.
Yes, that's correct.
So right now we bring we bring an actual fuel tank near your car.
So it's not gas can anymore.
So that hasn't been case like people haven't been worried about it.
A lot of our users actually get their car refueled at work.
So it's a gated community or like it's basically there's some kind of security there.
Okay.
And even with your gas lid open, there's still a small lid that when you put your pump inside on it, then it opens.
And a lot of newer Ford models, etc., they don't even have a lock on their lids, just push the lid and it opens up.
So these trends are interesting.
And you know, the timelines are always like, you have to figure out like, when would that happen?
Because apart from like technical, you know, advancement, there's a lot of other real adoption that has to happen.
But the main thing is like anything that moves on the road has, you know, is going to need some kind of energy, right?
