"The North American market is witnessing unprecedented
heavy-duty vehicle electrification amplified by sustainability

lacks a solution that can enable the growth of electric fleets

"EO Charging continues to serve some of the most complex fleets
in the European market with over 99% uptime, and fleet operators
across North America have a strong
desire to increase their fleets' reliability," stated Walsh. "I
feel confident that EO Charging's complete transportation
electrification ecosystem can uniquely address this gap in the
market and look forward to working with the team to expand our
