Between your tablet, e-reader, smartphone, and every other smart gadget on the market, you have a lot of devices you use on a daily basis. The problem is, you only have a limited number of outlets and USB ports and don’t have enough time to charge each item one by one. It’s even worse when you live with someone who has just as many — if not, more — gadget as you.

As we advance into the future, more and more of our devices need charging: phones, tablets, headphones, watches, laptops, peripherals, speakers, and more.

Enter River Bank, the portable power station that might make all of our charging dreams a reality. It can charge up to six devices at once — even your laptop.

A new dedicated charging network from the company EVgo hopes to reduce charging stress for ride-hailing and gig economy drivers in rented electric vehicles.
General Motors’ Maven car-share service rents electric Bolts to drivers on apps like Uber and Lyft. Drivers using the Maven service will get access to the new charging network — it’s just for drivers on the program. The rest of the EV driving public can’t use these stations.
EVgo, a nationwide charging network with 1,000 fast chargers across the country, is building out fast charging stations where Maven, a service that rents out cars from its fleet of GM vehicles, is already active. The dedicated charging stations will first open in San Francisco later this year and then expand into other cities, like Boston, Los Angeles, and San Diego with a couple hundred stations sprinkled throughout those areas.
