The EV Report recently had the opportunity to sit down with Tiya Gordon, Co-Founder and COO of itselectric to learn more about this young start-up and how they plan to bring the EV charging experience to urban areas.
As cities strive towards net zero goals, a major shift towards electrifying transportation is underway. With major automakers committing to offering only electric models within the next few years and states such as California and New York aiming to phase out gas-powered vehicles, the future looks promising for EVs.
However, the issue of charging remains a challenge for those who park on the street. This is where itselectric comes in, with a mission to provide curbside EV charging to cities across the US, driving the adoption of electric vehicles. itselectric collaborates with property owners to harness unused electricity and offer them the opportunity to earn a passive income, making EV charging more accessible for everyone. The result of increased access to affordable public charging is not only a boost in the popularity of EVs, but also a cleaner environment and healthier communities.
With 20 years of expertise in leadership and design operations, Tiya has made a name for herself in the industry, having worked for some of the leading companies and institutions in the country.
Her achievements have earned her numerous recognition and awards, including the National Design Award from the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, the Cannes Gold Lion for Creative Data, an Emerging Filmmaker Showcase at the Cannes Film Festival, and being named the second most innovative design firm in the world by Fast Company.
As she looks towards the next 20 years of her career, Tiya has refocused her efforts towards tackling the Climate Crisis, starting with the establishment of itselectric.
