Record setting EV adoption in US

In 2016, electric cars surpassed the two million mark worldwide, with an impressive 43% growth in EV sales in the US alone. With battery prices dropping, and with new long-range electric vehicle models being released monthly, EVs are becoming widely available to all.

With the 50,000th installation, EVBox now supports electric drivers' needs in thirty different countries worldwide. Vereenooghe continues: "We see this alarming trend of record heatwaves and melting glaciers. Meanwhile we are experiencing an ever-increasing consumer demand for electric vehicles and our charging stations. Large scale adoption of electric vehicles is going to happen and it's our mission to drive sustainable mobility by bringing leading electric vehicle solutions to the world." EVBox is actively expanding its US and global based workforce to support the record setting adoption of electric vehicles. Vereenooghe adds: "We achieved 50,000 charging ports in less than seven years and we plan on achieving the next 50,000 in less than two years."
