Especially as a woman, having low phone battery isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s a huge safety concern. chargeFUZE makes stay safe easy and affordable. The sleek portable chargers are available all over LA at super convenient locations. Their app is easy to use and their product is high quality. Highly recommend chargeFUZE to anyone looking for a cost-effective solution to low-phone battery anxiety!

I rarely use 3rd party charging services or USB charging plugins b/c of the incredible cybersecurity risk. It’s one of the easiest ways to be hacked. But my phone had been dead for two hours and my day had at least six hours left when I walked by a Fuze station. From the station to the website and the app I was disappointed at every turn. The Fuze station doesn’t work without the app, which makes the irrelevant app required (literally everything could be done at a kiosk, except finding the closest charger). That’s a problem, because, again, I walked by a Fuze station two hours after my phone died. I’m lucky I had my work cell on me, and that’s the only reason I could use this service I desperately needed. (I rarely carry my work cell outside of the 9-5, but it definitely takes better concert photos). The actually charging service itself wasn’t great either. After an hour my iPhone 13 charged from 0 to 37%. My personal on-the-go charger charges my phone from 0 to 100% in 45 minutes. But l literally couldn’t fit anything else in my 5x9 Truist Park approved bag for the TWICE concert.

This app has saved me multiple times, I can think of at least two occasions where I would have been stranded without a way home if it weren’t for their mobile chargers. App itself is super easy to use and cost for charging is surprisingly cheap. Cannot recommend highly enough!
