How cities are still trying to hit their electrification goals without federal funding assistance

What is really happening in the EV charging market

How Tiya is building an A-Team

What’s up, everyone!

Today, we’re excited to have Tiya Gordon, founder of It’s Electric, back on the pod to discuss their progress since we last spoke in early 2024. She also gives us a big update on what’s happening in the curbside charging space across the US.

With the federal funding support being pulled, a lot of cities are facing challenges in meeting their electrification goals. It’s Electric is thriving by helping them get curbside chargers in place with ZERO up-front costs.

As if that wasn’t enough, they also help building owners earn extra revenue. A true win-win solution.

Tune in for some golden nuggets on what the market is doing now and an absolute master class on how to build a high-performance team at an early-stage clean tech startup.
