Aatish Patel and Alex Urist started a company called Current Electric in 2020 after a failed search for efficient electric vehicle (EV) chargers to install at a family-owned property. “Nothing on the market fit the bill,” says Patel. “It was mainly because of the incompatibility we saw with the products that were being sold in the U.S.” They set out to find a partner who understood their vision to make a charger that would actually fit North America’s infrastructure. This eventually led them to XCharge Technologies, which was first founded in Beijing in 2015. After a couple years of ideation, they launched XCharge Energy, a new company specifically made by and for the North American market. Our discussion with Patel and Urist (link in bio) will hopefully help answer some of your questions regarding electric vehicles, and instill a bit of optimism for the future. #electricvehicle #ev #evcharging #chargingstation
