EVCS

Series A in 2022
EVCS was started in 2018 by Green Commuter founder Gustavo Occhiuzzo and finance expert Ian Vishnevsky, two serial entrepreneurs who saw the opportunity to provide California businesses with charging stations as the number of electric vehicles on the road continued to multiply. While sister company Green Commuter, first established in 2014, pioneered eco-friendly mobility through its fleet of all-electric vanpool vehicles, Occhiuzzo and Vishnevsky were determined to encourage greater electric vehicle participation by California residents through a scalable statewide charging solution. EVCS set about developing a unique and industry-disrupting approach to mobility power – most notably employing a complete turnkey approach that utilizes both public and private grants, rebates and other financial incentives to reduce the downside while optimizing the upside for participating site owners. Thanks to the enormous popularity of this approach, EVCS has already expanded its footprint from California to Washington via the West Coast Electric Highway and will soon traverse the country. EVCS is a B Lab Certified Benefit Corporation.
