FuelRod Expands Across San Diego: Stay Powered at USS Midway Museum & Balboa Park

July 9, 2026 - San Diego, California

We're excited to announce that the FuelRod Service is now available at two of Southern California's most iconic destinations — USS Midway Museum and Balboa Park.

Whether you're exploring the flight deck of a historic aircraft carrier, spending the afternoon wandering through museums and gardens, or simply taking in everything San Diego has to offer, keeping your phone charged has become part of the experience.

Now, staying powered is easier than ever.

Power That Goes Where You Go

Today's visitors depend on their phones for almost everything:

• Mobile tickets

• Maps and navigation

• Photos and videos

• RideShare services

• Mobile payments (Apple Wallet or Google Pay)

• Staying connected with family and friends

Instead of searching for an outlet or cutting your visit short because of a low battery, FuelRod lets you keep exploring.

Simply purchase a FuelRod and, whenever you need more power, exchange it for a fresh, fully charged one at participating FuelRod kiosks across our nationwide Swappable Power Network.
