Turn EV Charging Dwell Time Into Dog Wash Revenue
10 minutes to charge a Tesla. 10 minutes to wash a dog. PetScrub transforms idle EV station dwell time into a high-margin amenity that drivers love — and operators monetize.
The 10-Minute Opportunity You’re Leaving on the Table
EV drivers sit idle for 10–45 minutes per charge session. That’s unmonetized dwell time — until now. PetScrub installs beside your charging bays and captures revenue from the 65% of EV owners who own a dog.

EV Charging Stations & Car Washes
Enhance Traveler Convenience & Reduce Car Mess
For drivers on road trips or even local errands, managing pet fur in the car is a constant challenge. The PetScrub amenity allows them to significantly reduce loose fur before continuing their journey, leading to a cleaner car interior and a more pleasant travel experience. This convenience can be a major draw.
Attract the Growing Pet-Owning EV Driver Market
Research indicates features catering to pets are becoming a selling point for EVs themselves. Offering a PetScrub amenity directly targets this valuable demographic, making your charging location a preferred destination for drivers looking for pet-friendly conveniences.
Differentiate Your Charging Station
Instead of drivers just waiting, provide them with a practical task they likely need to do anyway. A quick refresh and de-shed session for their dog turns charging downtime into productive pet care time, significantly enhancing the value of stopping at your location.
Productive Use of Dwell Time:
As the EV charging & Car wash market grows, amenities become key differentiators. While others offer basics like Wi-Fi or restrooms, a unique and thoughtful amenity like PetScrub sets your location apart, making it more memorable and appealing than competitors.
Eco-Friendly Innovation:
Utilize a waterless, environmentally friendly cleaning solution, appealing to eco-conscious customers.
Competitive Edge:
Differentiate your business with state-of-the-art pet care technology, positioning your car wash as a premium, innovative destination.
Why PetScrub Is Different
No Soak Required
PetScrub uses Air-Through-Solution Technology that pushes clean solution through the coat using air pressure, reaching the skin and back out. No soaking means no standing water on your charging lot, no wet dogs dripping through your facility, and a clean experience that matches the premium feel of an EV charging station.
Complete in About 10 Minutes
The full Deshed, Dry, and Clean process takes approximately 10 minutes, which aligns perfectly with a typical EV charging session. While the car charges, the dog gets clean. Customers leave with a charged vehicle and a clean pet, turning idle dwell time into a productive, revenue-generating experience.
Built for Double-Coat Dogs
Breeds like Golden Retrievers, Huskies, German Shepherds, and Australian Shepherds have thick double coats that trap dirt and shed heavily. PetScrub air-through-solution technology penetrates these dense coats to remove loose undercoat fur and dirt from the root. EV-driving dog owners with shedding breeds are an ideal repeat customer because they charge regularly and need this service frequently.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can an EV charging station add a dog wash?
Yes. PetScrub stations are designed for exactly this use case. The station measures just 5ft x 3ft x 6ft and can operate on its internal water supply (approximately 100 washes) without any plumbing connection. This makes it ideal for EV charging lots where traditional plumbing infrastructure may not exist. Installation is straightforward and does not disrupt your charging operations.
How does a dog wash monetize EV charging dwell time?
EV charging sessions typically last 15-45 minutes. During that time, drivers are waiting with nothing to do. PetScrub turns that idle time into a revenue opportunity. At $19.99 per self-serve session, dog-owning EV drivers can wash their pet while their car charges. The 10-minute PetScrub process fits naturally within the charging window, and the experience gives drivers a reason to choose your station over competitors.
What is the first mover advantage for dog wash at EV stations?
Almost no EV charging stations currently offer pet amenities. This is one of the most underserved verticals in the commercial dog wash market. Being the first charging station in your area to offer PetScrub gives you a significant competitive advantage. EV drivers who discover PetScrub at your station become loyal repeat visitors for both charging and washing.
Does a PetScrub station require water hookup at an EV lot?
No. PetScrub can run entirely on its internal water tank, which holds enough for approximately 100 washes before needing a refill. It can also connect to an existing water line if one is available. This flexibility is critical for EV charging locations that may be in parking structures, commercial lots, or areas without nearby plumbing.
How is a PetScrub station managed?
Everything is phone-managed. Payments, session tracking, and usage data are all accessible remotely with no staff required. This is ideal for EV charging station operators who already run their charging infrastructure remotely. PetScrub operates the same way, as a fully automated revenue stream.
What makes PetScrub different from a standard dog wash?
PetScrub uses Air-Through-Solution Technology for a complete Deshed, Dry, and Clean in about 10 minutes with no soaking required. The process is especially effective on double-coat breeds. The station is compact (5x3x6 ft), phone-managed, and can run without plumbing, making it uniquely suited for EV charging environments.
What PetScrub Customers Say
Real experiences from pet owners and business operators
“PetScrub keeps Hopong clean before he jumps on the bed at night, and I love the smell of the shampoo when we cuddle”
Amanda Hasting“We have 3 dogs that fight over the attention when we start PetScrubbing them… it drastically cut back on our grooming trips and helped with hair in the house.”
Jim Anderson“My dog hates baths, and PetScrub was much easier than cleaning him with a regular bath. I can quickly clean him anytime — like after a walk. It is super convenient, and he likes it.”
