Our mission is to make electric vehicle charging effortless, sustainable, and accessible for everyone. By combining cutting‑edge technology, an exceptional user experience, and seamless integration with smart energy systems, we’re helping accelerate the transition to clean transport worldwide.

About You Proven track record in business development, sales, or partnerships within EV charging, energy, utilities, or electrical distribution. Strong understanding of the U.S. installer and wholesale ecosystem for energy and electrical products.

Comfortable working in a cross‑functional, international environment, aligning closely with HQ support functions in the UK. Passionate about sustainability, clean energy, and EV technology.
