During one of the most high-profile race weekends in North America, ChargerGoGo partnered with CGV (the official event promoter for Formula 1) to keep fans powered and connected.

With a packed schedule of racing, entertainment, and hospitality, guests depended on their phones for everything. Our mission was simple: make sure no one missed a moment due to a low battery.

The Challenge: A Digitally-Connected Crowd with Power-Hungry Phones

At Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, the fan experience is as much about the atmosphere as the racing itself. Guests rely on their phones for digital tickets, live updates, social sharing, photos, and venue navigation.

But when over 100,000 people converge in one space, battery life becomes a shared concern.

CGV recognized that if guests lost power, they’d lose more than just phone access—they’d miss out on key moments and critical touchpoints throughout the weekend.

The Solution: Seamless Charging at Scale

ChargerGoGo deployed a network of portable charging stations across high-traffic areas, including entrances, grandstands, food courts, and premium lounges.

With quick rental access and on-the-go flexibility, guests were able to stay charged without standing in line, searching for outlets, or missing any action.

“Our mission is to power people through moments that matter,” said June Zhu, CEO of ChargerGoGo. “This event was a perfect example of how charging can quietly transform the guest experience, behind the scenes.”

Hundreds of charging sessions were completed per day. Fans stayed present and engaged. Support staff handled fewer battery-related questions. And sponsors benefited from exposure at key interaction points.

A Milestone for ChargerGoGo’s Canadian Expansion

This partnership at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve reflects our growing footprint across Canada. With over 100 stations now active at major venues and events nationwide, we’re helping more partners future-proof their guest experience.

Why It Matters

A dead phone is more than an inconvenience—it’s a break in the experience.

Whether it’s missed photos, missed texts, or missed revenue opportunities, venues are realizing that providing charging infrastructure isn’t just helpful—it’s expected.

ChargerGoGo is here to power every moment that matters.
