itselectric’s Post

When I bought an electric vehicle, it was only my second car ever. If there had been enough charging stations when I got my first car at 33, I would’ve made the switch earlier. But back then, even in a city like Atlanta, the infrastructure wasn’t there. Now, instead of weekly gas station runs, I charge at home or while shopping –trading tips with other EV owners and venting about the need for faster chargers for the 2.5 million owners who live across the U.S. That’s why when I came across Tiya Gordon’s work, I was immediately pumped about the future of EV access. Gordon, the co-founder and COO of New York City-based itselectric, didn’t have a direct path to climate tech — her background is in design and public-facing technology. But as she began trying to solve a personal transportation challenge, she began asking herself questions about the state of charging availability at large. Today, itselectric is working to change that by offering scalable and affordable charging options — right in the heart of the communities that need it most.
