I heard there is decent money in scooping them up and charging them.



Yep. A guy on my street does this. Drives around his trailer and picks them up every night after his 9-5 job. Charges them overnight and drops them off on his way to work each morning.

Makes several hundred bucks a week on it I think.

I have a large inverter on my van already. I was thinking if they came here I could probably fit 4-5 in the van and charge them while going around the city and disperse them. Then I saw they had a rule where you couldn't use vehicles that advertised another business, so that cut out that plan.

Around here you get charging hoarders. One person will pick up as many as they can fit in a truck. Maybe like 40 at a time. That person makes good charging money but that leaves other people that want to do it out of luck. So unless your really hustling, making good money charging is hard to do.
