There’s been a lot of interest in rohm. I really appreciate the support, and I’ll keep everyone updated as things develop.
Any public relations experts who want to get involved, please reach out to me on LinkedIn. I’d love to chat!
Ever wonder why vehicle services have barely innovated?
A lot of the market still runs through legacy motor clubs, insurance programs, dispatch middlemen, and tow-first workflows.
That stack was built to protect incumbents. Not to get the vehicle back in service as efficiently as possible.
For gas vehicles, consumers were forced to tolerate it.
For EVs, that won’t hold.
An out-of-charge EV is not a tow-first problem. It’s an energy delivery problem, and the old roadside structure is not built to solve it.
I think this market starts shifting away from insurance-led vehicle services and toward OEM-led support.
- The OEM has the vehicle data.
- The OEM understands the battery.
- The OEM controls the software.
- The OEM owns the warranty relationship.
- The OEM takes the brand damage when the service experience fails.
So why would the most important EV service moments keep getting routed through legacy roadside structures that were built for a different vehicle?
The more time I spend in mobile charging, the more obvious it gets: one company cannot own every charger, van, operator, and city.
That would make the market slower, less innovative, and frankly less American.
The better structure is local operators owning the work, competing on price and service quality, hardware companies competing to sell to them, and one national interface coordinating demand across the network.
And this interface matters for more than just dispatch, coordination, and immediate service.
- Energy policy changes from state to state
- Fleet SLAs differ by client and operating region
- Emergency response requirements vary both nationally and locally
That complexity belongs at the platform level, where it can be handled programmatically instead of rebuilt one relationship / regulatory engagement at a time.
I’m going to keep shipping and pushing the industry forward.
