Lime, the shared mobility company specializing in electric scooters, pays thousands of independent contractors to charge its scooters overnight to ensure the scooters have enough battery to get through a day of scooting.

But, despite raising $765 million in less than three years, the company is facing a rumored cash crunch that has resulted in raising prices and laying off employees. Now, Lime is also slashing rates for its scooter chargers, called juicers, who are not employees but independent contractors under a typical gig economy arrangement.
