ChargeTronix is committed to accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles by providing industry-leading charging infrastructure and end-to-end solutions for customers, including charge point operators, fleet and network operators, and across sectors such as governments and municipalities, retail, and hospitality. Israel and McNamara’s combined expertise will help the company scale by driving strategic expansion efforts, enhancing market penetration, and ensuring sustainable growth and success.
“Israel’s and McNamara’s expertise and track records within the EV industry make them invaluable additions for scaling our charging infrastructure,” said Xavier Landavazo, CEO of ChargeTronix. “With Israel’s extensive experience as a seasoned designer and developer of EV charging systems and McNamara’s proven sales acumen, we are poised to significantly accelerate our growth and expand into the new markets necessary to make reliable charging infrastructure a reality in the U.S.”
Stephen Israel has 15 years of experience working with the largest EV charging station operators worldwide. In his role as Vice President of Operations, Israel will oversee the strategic expansion, deployment, and technological advancement of ChargeTronix’s EV charging infrastructure. Most recently, he was Senior Director of Product Management at BTCPower and was previously Director of Field Operations and Maintenance at EVgo.
“While the popularity of EV’s continues to grow, charger reliability and efficiency is becoming even more critical in making the successful transition to a mainstream industry,” said Stephen Israel, Vice President of Operations at ChargeTronix. “I’m excited to lead the team at ChargeTronix by ensuring its products provide a flexible, fast, and reliable charging experience.
