LONDON, UK, 07 May 2024: EO Charging ("EO"), a global pioneer in electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions for depot-based fleets, today announced the appointment of Richard Staveley as its new CEO.

It is my pleasure to announce Richard Staveley as EO's new CEO.

Richard's appointment is poised to leverage EO Charging's strong foundation, backed by strategic investments from Zouk Capital and Vortex Energy; the company received an $80 million investment round in February 2023. Richard Staveley is renowned for his transformative approach and success in driving growth within PE and VC-funded companies in the e-mobility, IoT, and telecommunications sectors. Currently, Richard serves as Chairperson for Zest, an EV Charge Point Operator in the UK's public charging e-mobility sector.   

With Staveley as CEO and Jardine on the ground in the US, they will drive forward the company's mission of expanding its fleet charging solution business in North America and across Europe whilst maintaining its position as a frontrunner in the fast-developing UK market.
