This collaboration will enhance Kaptyn's EV charging at their Las Vegas flagship facility, replacing 10 of Kaptyn's current Level 2 EV charging stations with XCharge NA's direct current fast charging (DCFC) equipment. These chargers offer Kaptyn shorter charging times for vehicles and increased turnover.Kaptyn operates 100 EVs throughout the United States and has a fleet of 55 EVs, mainly comprised of Tesla vehicles in the Las Vegas market. Their Las Vegas fleet was relying on level two chargers and frequently outsources to Tesla's Super Charging Network, which is already inundated with competing car businesses and Tesla owners. Kaptyn needed to secure increased electricity to help power their facility, leading them to adopt XCharge NA's charger technology. With XCharge NA, Kaptyn can bolster their EV charging infrastructure within their current power capacity to service their electrified fleet.XCharge NA's solutions will enhance Kaptyn's operations without expensive and time-consuming power upgrades

Kaptyn, an electric vehicle mobility platform, has launched its full-EV fleet services in Los Angeles.

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kaptyn, an Electric Vehicle (EV) mobility platform with all employee drivers that provides exceptional transportation experiences, announced today that it has launched service in Los Angeles, becoming the first 100% EV fleet in the city.“With Las Vegas as our first market and having recently expanded to Miami earlier this year, Los Angeles was a logical market for our next expansion,” said Kaptyn founder Andrew Meyers. “Given the size of the market and the traffic issues, we know passengers here will be appreciative of our premium service offering. Los Angeles is also a car-based city but one with a conscience – we all know that public transportation is one of the best ways to alleviate environmental impacts, but since that is not as readily available in LA, Kaptyn is a great option for consistent and reliable transportation that you can feel good about since you are in an EV.”Kaptyn offers pre-scheduled rides in all-electric vehicles driven by full-time professional drivers. The current pickup and drop-off radius goes as far north as Thousand Oaks and San Fernando Valley, out to Pasadena and down just south of Manhattan Beach with plans to expand operations in 2023. Passengers can book rides using the Kaptyn website at least three hours ahead of their desired pickup time and up to 30 days in advance. Kaptyn drivers show up at least 15 minutes prior to pickup time in a black-on-black Tesla Model Y, creating a consistent, elevated customer experience for every passenger and every ride.Pricing for Kaptyn in their core LA service area to anywhere starts at $60
