Danny maybe, but why would you need that? People leave their cars at home for more than long enough for a full charge and public chargers can be more expensive and more of a faffle than plugging in at home.

Well actually if they were cheaper than most gas station , which is easy to do in most cities ( one side city is 10 to 20 cent cheaper than the other) so getting gas from these guys make sense , also gas station check prices of stations around them, which is some how legal.
People don't typically get gas while on paid time. They get it on the way home or to work or on the weekend. This is a perk that large corporations use to retain employees, like exercise centers and day care facilities.
Not sure how a heavy duty truck driving around town all day reduces emissions compared to cars stopping at their neighborhood station on the way home from work.

sandy thompson I don't think many people have to drive out of their way to get to a gas station. In most areas you pass multiple gas stations when you drive anywhere.
People who are saying leaving the gas door open isn’t safe clearly know nothing about cars. Every car comes with a fuel filter and fuel pump filter so before the gas even enters the engine it’s filtered a few times. There are not many cars you can still siphon from either. And there’s a lot of cars that the fuel door doesn’t lock so it’s technically open all the time anyway
In my city, all fuel caps have to seal properly. They are tested every time emissions are done. Depending upon the age of the vehicle and electrical build It will also set a code and present a check engine light if there is no cap. Vehicles without caps have mechanical self sealing systems usually featuring a metal plate to cover the opening.
Amazon can only buy them if the company sells. They won’t sell because there’s nothing proprietary about delivering gasoline. Propane companies do this for 100 years and you don’t see anyone buying them.
I pumped gas all through high school in the 70s and I hate self serve to this day, you would have to be a fool not to love this service, same price and you don't have to touch the stinky stuff, this isn't about being lazy this is a fantastic idea
Not a bad idea but it's not revolutionary either. The CEO mentioned machine learning and I wonder how it's utilized in such a service that seems pretty basic.
you would also need training on how to handle gasoline. And the tehcnology used to track the fill reqwuests, inventory dispensed, hazmat trainging and need a commerical drivers license. your not just filling cars
nub slayer123 yup. There is a car called "mirai" from toyota that's completely powered by hydrogen. U can search it up. I am currently a mirai owner and I'm truly amazed by the technology!
There are some people here speaking in favour of EV portable charging service, here is my take on it. When energy is converted, it allways produces undesirable power looses (mainly heat). So instead of transporting it efficiently through the established power lines, you are wasting energy by converting it for battery storage on the truck, than back to flowing electricity to send it to the car, and there again converting it for battery storage - this whole process in itself is terribly ineficient. The truck itself would be very heavy because of the bateries, and that huge weight would need to be transported around town which would result in big and unneccesary energy consumption, instead of just 'instantly' transporting the electrical energy through the established powerlines (with very little enegy loss). The trucks itselfs would also be spending batteries, and baterries are very expensive to produce, and their production are very bad for the environment (worse than gasoline-usage environmental impact). And than there is the slow charging process, truck taking parking space while charging, extra labour costs, the cost of the charging truck itself... At this very moment, the only real benefit of an electric car (beside the mechanical simplicity and certain performance benefits), is that it moves the polution (of which there is more because of the EV's) away from the cities and it's inhabitants (good for our personal health), to the outskirts where the powerplant's are (and we are still burning huge amounts of coal, nuclear is currently the cleanest option-and the newest nuclear reactors can't haven have a melt-down). That is it. And people act like the electricity is somehow summoned into existance in our electrical systems to power our 'eco-friendly' EV's. Our electricity network (source and transport if it) cannot possibly handle the extra energy that we would require to power the EV for every single car owner, not even remotly close. But still, the future will ultimately belong to the electric-powered machines, but for EV's to truly and fully dominate, let me tell you, it will take about 30 years in my bright-forcasted opinion. When we have and implement: superconductors in our electrical transport system, nuclear fussion power plants, and graphene super-capacitor baterries, than the combustion engine becomes absolete.
I highly doubt they would use batteries to charge batteries. Probably would use natural gas turbine generators as those tend to be very efficient and cheap compared to other energy.
@@Commandmanhardcore It still does not make any sense. Why not use the turbine turbine on the vehicle itself? And you would still be converting energy from kinetic to electric, transfering it to electro-chemical (bateries), only to be converted back to electric for the motors... I see no logic in it.
@@davidmiletic6647 I never said it'd be logical, but when has logic stopped humans before? I agree this whole thing is a bit ridiculous but I still think they'd do it
@Noel Duffy true, and I don't know why. Raised that way I'm afraid. We have fuel injectors, fuel filters and fuel pump nowhere does it say gas anything.
This is actually genius, personally though I wouldn't use the service. Not for any reason other than, I quite enjoy going out to gas stations having social interaction (yes even if I'm waiting in line for 15 minutes). That being said though, I hope this company blows up, it would make plenty of people's lives easier
This seems great until you walk out and realize that the hose has scratched your car or some kid decided to stick a banana in your fuel tank because you left it open.
There's towel/shammy they put underneath the hose to prevent that from happening. Also, how are these dudes fueling any different than anyone else.. .it's reasonably sound to believe they're sane enough to fill a tank without scratching your car lol. I've driven 10+ years and have never "damaged" the paint around the fuel cap. Lastly... There's a filter that acts as a sieve to prevent things like bananas from entering your gas tank lol
I see a small towel they're putting near the nozzle, but that isn't going to prevent an accidental ding by the nozzle or the service guy sliding the hose against your car if you're tank is at the opposite end of where he is parked. Also, this is different than 'anyone else' fueling, because people are careful with their own cars, and they know their own cars. They park with their fuel tank directly beside the nozzle, so there is no reason to stretch a long hose out to reach the opening... And they fuel up immediately, so there is no reason to leave the tank door/cap open. This is an unknown person fueling an unknown vehicle whilst not being monitored by the driver and pulling a hose between parking spaces. Accidents are bound to happen.
@@SA-ho1mu if you're in a parking lot you can't be too concerned and dings. If you're not worried about swinging doors I'm not sure why you're worried about a hose. I drive a G35 Infiniti and the gas tank is always accessible. Tons of cars are the same way. How many people do you personally know that have had someone put something in their tank?
When I park, I park neatly in a space with ample room on both sides, which is why I don't get dings from swinging doors. And if I had a G35 or a cheaper sub $40k car, I guess I wouldn't be too concerned about some gas man scratching my car with his hose, but if you drive a nice luxury car or sports cars, doing things that amplify the chances of getting dings or scratches isn't worth it. Not when I can just drop by the gas station every once in a while. And no one I know has ever had someone put something in my tank, because no one I know is stupid enough to leave their tank door unlocked and open.. duhh. Situationally, those who are not concerned with damage to their car and aren't bothered by the risk of vandalism might find this app useful. It doesn't fit my situation, however.
It is a totally excellent idea. We hear about so many gimmicks, including battery cars. It is refreshing to see a real world solution that makes sense on many different levels. Battery cars are awesome but in 2017 and despite all the hype only 200,000 of those sold in USA as compared to 17 million gasoline vehicles.
The same is being done for tractors and agricultural machines in the Netherlands for many years. Gas truck goes to the farms or to the sides of the fields and refuels the machines on request. Concept is not new, only adjusted to a different situation, which is a smart thing. Farms and fields -> parking lots.
That's about the dumbest comment on here. 99% of vehicles manufactured don't have locking gas doors. Let alone that a lot of newer vehicles don't even have gas caps...
I work around consumer chemicals and other hazardous materials and a red placard means flammable. It would also have a picture of a fire. At the bottom is a number. 3 means gasoline.
@@jamiehatchell4070 he's talking about the black tanker truck. If you pause at 2:51 and look to middle of the tanker trailer, it has a black/white corrosive placard.
Maybe 15 years. Tesla is truly way ahead of the game. But the distance and charge time just isn't there quite yet. We can get from point A to B alot quicker in gasoline vehicles. Once electric vehicles have an advantage of getting like 400-500 miles to a charge and be able to charge that vehicle within 20-30min. Then I can see more people making the switch. Especially when Autonomous vehicles should be a thing in 15 years at the going rate.
Not when you consider the effect of making, replacing, disposing of batteries. Not to mention charging them. Look at LP or NG powered vehicles. Very clean burning. I used to deliver LP, our trucks ran off it. Diesel is pretty good also, kinda of a shame it never caught on in the states.
I tied this in another country and the petrol companies got the government to make it illegal because they felt they were losing out. I was losing tank truckers directly from the boat tanker to my trucks then directly to clients since it slipped there storage facilities and gas stations they were mad. Be careful and I hope you succeed and don't get pushed over buy petroleum conglomerates.
I’ll be buying stock in this as soon as they go public. They’ve been delivering in my business center for a while now. When I first saw this I was like “WTH is that?” Now I think it’s a genius idea. I hate spending my time detouring going to the gas station.
This could work for electrical cars if you used the idea of cycling batteries!! The company switches out your battery for another, fully charged one and then slowly charges your flat battery, and gives it to someone else. Batteries are checked on intake and dysfunctional ones are discarded.
I worked for a company 10 years ago that did this for construction sites. We also serviced oil field crews, wildland fire crews, delivery trucks (think sara lee bread, coors or budweiser) and airport construction crews. We had 4500 gallon capacity with 4 different compartments. We could carry whatever product you needed. We did this for a lot of companies or sites that it was impractical for them tk leave job site. The delivery companies and landscaping companies saw this as a way to boost productivity so drivers weren't stuck at the gas station during business hours. Its a great idea but I'm curious if the company has experienced cross drops (wrong fuel) or vandalism/damage complaints with this all happening in parking lots.
I want my gas being delivered while I'm driving like a tanker aircraft

Please bring this to the UK. I'd use a service like this.
Everyone who see's a cars petrol cap open in a parking lot, please do the kind thing & shut it for them... :)
I found a whole bunch open in Google's parking lot. Took me twenty minutes to close them all.
Thanks for your help lol
Why in the video the Silver BMW sub has a purple gas door cover on it . Probably says please don’t close?

What’s the wrong with everyone?
Let's be real Amazon will buy this company you know how are them
I can't imagine Amazon paying much.
Amazon can only buy them if the company sells. They won’t sell because there’s nothing proprietary about delivering gasoline. Propane companies do this for 100 years and you don’t see anyone buying them.
@@mgorbaty is joke don't be serious
@@mgorbaty you have a reason why Amazon wouldn't buy, not a reason that whatever this company is wouldn't sell....
I can’t see how this will lose. You are seeing a Uber like Concept from the ground up. This guy built a more colorful better mouse trap.
Why not charge a fee for the service? People pay for convenience.
I pumped gas all through high school in the 70s and I hate self serve to this day, you would have to be a fool not to love this service, same price and you don't have to touch the stinky stuff, this isn't about being lazy this is a fantastic idea
Neat idea but as pointed leaving fuel door open doesn't sound exactly safe
As long as you keep the gas cap on it's fine. My worry would be people trying to steal my gas
@@AdamSmith-gs2dv all cars in the last 10 years or more all have anti-siphon systems making it extremely hard to steal gas
@Dirty Burger EXACTLY
People forget that pretty much all older cars fuel doors are always unlocked.
@Anil Singh nah energy drink works better because of fuel filters and stuff
Not a bad idea but it's not revolutionary either. The CEO mentioned machine learning and I wonder how it's utilized in such a service that seems pretty basic.
Exactly, as an AI engineer, I was left angered, surprised and shocked by such a baseless statement clearly made to impress the clueless!
All I'm thinking about is working for this company, all I gotta do is deliver gas into cars? Sign me up. 😂
you would also need training on how to handle gasoline. And the tehcnology used to track the fill reqwuests, inventory dispensed, hazmat trainging and need a commerical drivers license. your not just filling cars
@@danhouse7565 Are you stupid? That would literally take 5 minutes to learn unless your IQ is in the double digits.
@@fazejones215 ..yes you would need at least a class B CDL as well as HAZMAT .
Very promising. Good luck guys
Innovation never ends. The best innovators always win 😃
Good idea but a bit late in the combustion age, I hope they have an idea how to do this for electric vehicles too
Irving Chies they sort of mentioned it backhandedly. Pretty soon though cars will just drive themselves to the chargers.
There are examples of robots that fill parked EVs in South Korea
They should consider delivering hydrogen to increase the hydrogen car market
With the assumption that hydrogen and electric will coexist as diesel and gasoline has
They just took the idea from airports and put it on the road, nothing special.
This thing is gonna rock in America.based on its concept
This service would also work great for propane and hydrogen.
There is already propane delivery.
nub slayer123 yup. There is a car called "mirai" from toyota that's completely powered by hydrogen. U can search it up. I am currently a mirai owner and I'm truly amazed by the technology!
@@Blessedinmynest very common in the rural northeast, where its used frequently for heating.
It would work well with propane and propane accessories
most of rural america has propane delivered. I get 400 gallons at a time delivered several times thru the year.....
All I want is a full service gas station, were they pump my glass, clean my windshield and check my tires. And they give me this.
It's the best idea I've heard in a long time bring that to Los Angeles.
This would be great if they could deliver diesel, hydrogen and charging for electric cars as well.
Now do beer delivery! 1-800-beer-run
If any of yous makes money on that I want a cut
If you live in the right city with the right laws, it already exist :)
You can have alcohol delivered - the app called, Drizly.
My guys that's been a thing since post mates
There are some people here speaking in favour of EV portable charging service, here is my take on it.
When energy is converted, it allways produces undesirable power looses (mainly heat). So instead of transporting it efficiently through the established power lines, you are wasting energy by converting it for battery storage on the truck, than back to flowing electricity to send it to the car, and there again converting it for battery storage - this whole process in itself is terribly ineficient. The truck itself would be very heavy because of the bateries, and that huge weight would need to be transported around town which would result in big and unneccesary energy consumption, instead of just 'instantly' transporting the electrical energy through the established powerlines (with very little enegy loss). The trucks itselfs would also be spending batteries, and baterries are very expensive to produce, and their production are very bad for the environment (worse than gasoline-usage environmental impact). And than there is the slow charging process, truck taking parking space while charging, extra labour costs, the cost of the charging truck itself...
At this very moment, the only real benefit of an electric car (beside the mechanical simplicity and certain performance benefits), is that it moves the polution (of which there is more because of the EV's) away from the cities and it's inhabitants (good for our personal health), to the outskirts where the powerplant's are (and we are still burning huge amounts of coal, nuclear is currently the cleanest option-and the newest nuclear reactors can't haven have a melt-down). That is it. And people act like the electricity is somehow summoned into existance in our electrical systems to power our 'eco-friendly' EV's. Our electricity network (source and transport if it) cannot possibly handle the extra energy that we would require to power the EV for every single car owner, not even remotly close.
But still, the future will ultimately belong to the electric-powered machines, but for EV's to truly and fully dominate, let me tell you, it will take about 30 years in my bright-forcasted opinion.
When we have and implement: superconductors in our electrical transport system, nuclear fussion power plants, and graphene super-capacitor baterries, than the combustion engine becomes absolete.
I highly doubt they would use batteries to charge batteries. Probably would use natural gas turbine generators as those tend to be very efficient and cheap compared to other energy.
@@Commandmanhardcore It still does not make any sense. Why not use the turbine turbine on the vehicle itself? And you would still be converting energy from kinetic to electric, transfering it to electro-chemical (bateries), only to be converted back to electric for the motors... I see no logic in it.
@@davidmiletic6647 I never said it'd be logical, but when has logic stopped humans before? I agree this whole thing is a bit ridiculous but I still think they'd do it
@@Commandmanhardcore I see your point haha, but still I dont think they will do it, at least not in this way.
Stop saying gas!!!!
I used to and that's all I knew but as of late I flipped to fuel, will not say petrol :)
I'm so happy for this guy.
@Noel Duffy true, and I don't know why. Raised that way I'm afraid.
We have fuel injectors, fuel filters and fuel pump nowhere does it say gas anything.
As someone who works and goes to school this is so cool. It’s a time saver
Listen, I don’t want to fill up my tank...I just want $5. Lol
I hate going to a gas station , I love this idea
Yeah but paying a 1.50 more per gallon? I ain't that lazy.
Wow $ 1.50 more ? No deal. How much is gas in your country ?
@@mikcar9423 Here in the US in Miami, FL $2.67 a gallon.
@@SarahRamsingh I pay 4 bucks a gallon

They’ll last until electric cars kick off
they wont. theres hundreds of thousands of people that dont have power that still rely on fuel. plus electiecty doesnt do well at -30
He clearly said in the video that he’s open to new technologies such as electric cars
Fun Fact: If you put sugar in a fuel tank, it ruins the vehicle entirely.
Don’t leave your gas tank open.
This is actually genius, personally though I wouldn't use the service. Not for any reason other than, I quite enjoy going out to gas stations having social interaction (yes even if I'm waiting in line for 15 minutes). That being said though, I hope this company blows up, it would make plenty of people's lives easier
His dad must be Notch cuz he made Mycroft XD
I like putting gas in the car its fun
@Mike Wible what state is that?
Fun? You must be a blast
Me too
Sooner or later, the driver won't be needed I think. All will be done using automation.
Very useful I could use this everyday
A lot of trucking companies have onsite fueling so this might work in an urban area, also a lot of newer vehicles the fuel cap door is unlocked
Cities will ban it. Too dangerous.
Very smart; a new idea
Oh yeah, because planes go to the gas station too.
Hammer? 66?
This seems great until you walk out and realize that the hose has scratched your car or some kid decided to stick a banana in your fuel tank because you left it open.
Scratches almost guaranteed
There's towel/shammy they put underneath the hose to prevent that from happening. Also, how are these dudes fueling any different than anyone else.. .it's reasonably sound to believe they're sane enough to fill a tank without scratching your car lol. I've driven 10+ years and have never "damaged" the paint around the fuel cap. Lastly... There's a filter that acts as a sieve to prevent things like bananas from entering your gas tank lol
I see a small towel they're putting near the nozzle, but that isn't going to prevent an accidental ding by the nozzle or the service guy sliding the hose against your car if you're tank is at the opposite end of where he is parked. Also, this is different than 'anyone else' fueling, because people are careful with their own cars, and they know their own cars. They park with their fuel tank directly beside the nozzle, so there is no reason to stretch a long hose out to reach the opening... And they fuel up immediately, so there is no reason to leave the tank door/cap open. This is an unknown person fueling an unknown vehicle whilst not being monitored by the driver and pulling a hose between parking spaces. Accidents are bound to happen.
@@SA-ho1mu if you're in a parking lot you can't be too concerned and dings. If you're not worried about swinging doors I'm not sure why you're worried about a hose.
I drive a G35 Infiniti and the gas tank is always accessible. Tons of cars are the same way. How many people do you personally know that have had someone put something in their tank?
When I park, I park neatly in a space with ample room on both sides, which is why I don't get dings from swinging doors. And if I had a G35 or a cheaper sub $40k car, I guess I wouldn't be too concerned about some gas man scratching my car with his hose, but if you drive a nice luxury car or sports cars, doing things that amplify the chances of getting dings or scratches isn't worth it. Not when I can just drop by the gas station every once in a while. And no one I know has ever had someone put something in my tank, because no one I know is stupid enough to leave their tank door unlocked and open.. duhh. Situationally, those who are not concerned with damage to their car and aren't bothered by the risk of vandalism might find this app useful. It doesn't fit my situation, however.
Smarty man
He just took an airport service and put it in the road.
It is a totally excellent idea. We hear about so many gimmicks, including battery cars. It is refreshing to see a real world solution that makes sense on many different levels. Battery cars are awesome but in 2017 and despite all the hype only 200,000 of those sold in USA as compared to 17 million gasoline vehicles.
I would not be surprised if Amazon buys this company and offer the service to Prime members.
Y todos tomaron a Javi Noble por pendejo, gasolineras VIP !!!!!!!!

Hola gas, a dónde vas!
Al rato van a sacar el Table dance de Gordas
I saw booster at a Walmart
Javi noble tenía razón !
Excellent service.
The same is being done for tractors and agricultural machines in the Netherlands for many years. Gas truck goes to the farms or to the sides of the fields and refuels the machines on request. Concept is not new, only adjusted to a different situation, which is a smart thing. Farms and fields -> parking lots.
Thanos gasoline car
A fuel thief will follow this truck an will end up in fortune!!! Fuel door unlocked
Lots of cars don't even have a lock, like my 2008 pickup. Plus modern cars have anti siphon devices.
That's about the dumbest comment on here. 99% of vehicles manufactured don't have locking gas doors. Let alone that a lot of newer vehicles don't even have gas caps...
Have you hear about shakes
2:50 That's not a fuel tanker! It has a corrosive placard, not a flammable placard.
RiceFlavoredGum the look the same. Get over yourself.
Placard 1993 ?
I work around consumer chemicals and other hazardous materials and a red placard means flammable. It would also have a picture of a fire. At the bottom is a number. 3 means gasoline.
@@jamiehatchell4070 he's talking about the black tanker truck. If you pause at 2:51 and look to middle of the tanker trailer, it has a black/white corrosive placard.
When you think you have an idea that nobody else thought about but you search it to make sure and they already have a whole business doing it
Great idea would love to see this in canada in the cold winters days.
It would be a bit better if we stopped investing in fossile fuels and started investing in more electric cars, though...
Maybe 15 years. Tesla is truly way ahead of the game. But the distance and charge time just isn't there quite yet. We can get from point A to B alot quicker in gasoline vehicles. Once electric vehicles have an advantage of getting like 400-500 miles to a charge and be able to charge that vehicle within 20-30min. Then I can see more people making the switch. Especially when Autonomous vehicles should be a thing in 15 years at the going rate.
Not when you consider the effect of making, replacing, disposing of batteries. Not to mention charging them.
Look at LP or NG powered vehicles. Very clean burning. I used to deliver LP, our trucks ran off it. Diesel is pretty good also, kinda of a shame it never caught on in the states.
@@SaKOTR That's Tesla nearly today.
@@fishingismydrug1 Those are the old fuels. Electric is the way.
@@Nicholas-f5 Old way? Yes. New way? Unfortunately it's what is being forced upon us.

@@johndavis9487 "we should all" You don't get to decide for everyone.
@@DevasionX Oh yes I do, and like I previously said, WE SHOULD ALL BE DRIVING ELECTRIC VEHICLES!
There isn't enough Lithium on Earth to equip 20% of all the cars in the world with batteries. Gas will remain longer than you think.
Brilliant idea! I hate having to stop at a gas station & hold those bacteria laden gas pumps.
Just get an electric car and charge while you sleep.
Very innovative idea.. Great Job wish it was in Toronto
Costco gasoline needs this service real bad!!
We have this at our office in Texas which is an awesome benefit
This is a great concept
An interesting and creative idea, to be sure. Well done, Mr. Mycroft, and thank you CNBC for letting us know about it.
Old news and won't be allowed by cities for safety.
I tied this in another country and the petrol companies got the government to make it illegal because they felt they were losing out. I was losing tank truckers directly from the boat tanker to my trucks then directly to clients since it slipped there storage facilities and gas stations they were mad. Be careful and I hope you succeed and don't get pushed over buy petroleum conglomerates.
This is BRILLIANT
THIS IS A FANTASTIC IDEA!!
I’ll be buying stock in this as soon as they go public. They’ve been delivering in my business center for a while now. When I first saw this I was like “WTH is that?” Now I think it’s a genius idea. I hate spending my time detouring going to the gas station.
This could work for electrical cars if you used the idea of cycling batteries!! The company switches out your battery for another, fully charged one and then slowly charges your flat battery, and gives it to someone else. Batteries are checked on intake and dysfunctional ones are discarded.
I worked for a company 10 years ago that did this for construction sites. We also serviced oil field crews, wildland fire crews, delivery trucks (think sara lee bread, coors or budweiser) and airport construction crews. We had 4500 gallon capacity with 4 different compartments. We could carry whatever product you needed. We did this for a lot of companies or sites that it was impractical for them tk leave job site. The delivery companies and landscaping companies saw this as a way to boost productivity so drivers weren't stuck at the gas station during business hours. Its a great idea but I'm curious if the company has experienced cross drops (wrong fuel) or vandalism/damage complaints with this all happening in parking lots.
The best thing about this to me, is that once the truck runs out of gas they can just give their selves gas right from the tank!⛽
