ev.energy set up in 2018 with a simple aim - to make electric vehicle charging simpler, greener, and cheaper for everyone. Drivers download our app and charge their vehicle overnight; and, in the background, we’re ingesting real-time data and using our proprietary smart-charging algorithm to align charging sessions with energy from renewable sources. This reduces carbon emissions caused by EV charging by as much as 70%.

This is a growing industry, with growing demand for our solution - a third of new cars by 2030 will be electric. Simultaneously, there’s increasing strain on the power grid (power outages have already jumped by 64% in the last decade in the USA). We are already working with over 30 utilities in the US, Canada and Europe, offering a way to reduce demand on the grid.

To achieve this we’ve brought together a team of over 100 people, bringing expertise from previous roles at National Grid, Tesla, Amazon, Arcadia, and Chargepoint; we’ve secured over 50m USD from leading VCs in the automotive and energy space including National Grid Partners, WEX Venture Capital, Energy Impact Partners and JLR’s InMotion Ventures. Come help us drive change for the better.

The role

We have ambitious aims as a company and we're looking to grow across the West Coast in particular. In this role, you will use your utility experience and connections to help drive our growth and ultimately connect more electrical vehicles to the grid, turning them into valuable grid resources.

• Expertise in building relationships - you quickly build rapport and trust and will be consultative when working with our clients to win long-term successful deals; you’ll be equally comfortable building great relationships with internal colleagues across Policy, Marketing, Product, Partnerships, and Legal.

• Familiarity with the US energy landscape, including federal legislation, electricity markets, and state-level regulations and programs

• A structured approach to sales with the ability to prioritize your workload to be as impactful as possible
