According to electrek.com and other industry sources, EV fast-charging solution provider FreeWire has announced plans to close its Newark corporate headquarters and lay off virtually all of its employees.
FreeWire Technologies combines sleek design with cutting-edge ultrafast charging technology, making it easier to transition to electrification. Their integrated charging solutions can provide energy wherever and whenever it’s required, meeting the growing demand for charging beyond the grid’s limits. With flexible and scalable clean power solutions, FreeWire’s customers can explore new applications and create innovative business models without the hassle of upgrading traditional energy infrastructure.
A spokesperson from the company responded to The EV Report‘s inquiry with the following statement:
As a company committed to transparency and open communication, we want to address recent discussions regarding FreeWire’s financial situation.
The EV market is currently facing some headwinds, and like many players in the industry, we’re navigating through these challenges. However, it’s important to note that FreeWire’s quality initiatives and production are better situated than ever before. Our dedication to quality improvement has strengthened our market position during these uncertain times.
Additional capital is necessary to further support our growth initiatives and ensure continued success. Therefore, we are actively seeking further funding, a step that aligns with strategies pursued by many companies in the industry. Meanwhile, we are making efforts to right-size the operations of the company.
We remain confident in our team, our technology, and our vision for the future of clean energy solutions. We appreciate the ongoing support of our stakeholders and partners as we work to overcome these challenges and continue to drive positive change in the EV market.
