HondoGO, an emerging leader in electric vehicle infrastructure, has announced several strategic hires as it continues its rapid expansion. This follows several recent announcements about its launch and growth. HondoGO is unique in its approach to building a fast charger network through partnerships with site owners and capital providers.
The electric vehicle (EV) industry has grown beyond a set of start-up companies, and the market continues to mature. While the number of electric vehicles on the road is at record levels, the necessary infrastructure has not kept pace, posing a significant challenge unless addressed.
"America’s energy infrastructure sorely lags behind the needs of the community, and we are ready to step in to bridge this gap," said Shawn Matthews, CEO of HondoGO. "Drivers should not have to worry if they can get to where they need to go because of dated infrastructure. Our innovative approach allows us to bring convenient charging to drivers, profitably and sustainably. We are excited to welcome several new experienced team members who will drive the company’s potential to new heights."
Among the new hires is a group of former Tesla Supercharger team members who bring extensive expertise in fast charger technology and network expansion. This team played a crucial role in building Tesla's Supercharger network, and their knowledge and skills will be invaluable as HondoGO accelerates its growth and aims to set new standards in the industry.
"We could not be more excited to accelerate HondoGO’s growth story," said Justin Lange, SVP of HondoGO and former Tesla Market Lead, Mid-Atlantic. "Our ability to bring together the best and brightest in the EV space and hit the ground running gives us a huge leg up. The team has national reach and experience across disciplines. We can’t wait to bring this product to consumers across the country."
HondoGO is prepared to take over the expansion of DC fast chargers as Tesla steps back from this initiative. By making the charging network its primary business and focusing on building a profitable network, HondoGO’s growth aligns with the goal of sustainably driving tomorrow’s energy infrastructure today.
