We reduce barriers in the transition to zero-emission transportation with an expert approach.

Based in California, Evolectric have dedicated themselves to power fleet operations with clean, efficient, and safe electrification solutions. Our team integrates more than 130 years of combined experience in power distribution, vehicle electrification, and battery engineering with deep R&D, product development, and business strategy acumen.

We have built a growing, international team with team members in California and in Latin America.

Our diverse backgrounds and expertise allow us to bring unique electrified mobility solutions to transportation, industrial, and commercial segments across the U.S and emerging markets.

We fully integrate cell level and battery pack expertise with vehicle usage requirements, circular economy principles, charging infrastructure availability, cost expectations, supply chain availability and more to provide maximum efficiency across the complete system.

Our goal is to accelerate fleet electrification globally.

We want to ease the fleet electrification transition across all forms of commercial transportation. We provide tailored solutions that meet your operational needs and comply to environmental regulations that address pollution.

With our HQ located in some of the busiest ports of the world it is only right to address the issue of harmful emissions generated from this transportation.

On a global scale, we advance electrification within the areas that need it most. Trucks and public transportation contribute 63% of LATAM transport sector which inevitably causes unsafe levels of air pollution.

We work to serve emerging markets through electrified technology and resources that help speed up adoption of electric vehicles.
