Tritium seeks partnerships to support EV transition

The tipping point to electric vehicle (EV) uptake is emerging in North America and international technology company Tritium is currently seeking partnerships to help support this transition, regional CEO Mike Calise told Global Fleet.

The company has not formally launched its partnership strategy to the public but, according to the executive, some of the largest and well-respected companies in the world will be taking Tritium charging solutions to market.

“We will soon be making key announcements regarding large channel partners that have unique strengths in particular segments. There are four segments of which we are focused on,” said Mr. Calise.

  • Municipalities (e.g. parking garages and airports)
  • Fleets (e.g. ridesharing, last mile delivery, transit, vans, school buses)
  • Retail (e.g. big box, quick serve, mixed use, fuel stations, convenience stores)
  • Utility Companies

“Personally, I am mainly focused on working closely with the Top 10 of the Global 500 most valuable companies in the world. I intend to exploit DC Fast Charging technology (including hardware, software and solutions) to stay ahead of the massive transformation of the transportation and energy industries,” says the executive.

Founded in 2001, Tritium is based in Brisbane Australia and has offices in the United States and Europe as well as Australia. It is focused on proliferating charging infrastructure and developing flexible and scalable technological solutions that enable growth in electric vehicle adoption.

Holding the position of CEO for the Americas since January of this year, Mike Calise has been working in the electric vehicle realm since 2010. For more on Mr. Calise’s thoughts of the EV market and Tritium’s new RT175S recharger, stay tuned for Global Fleet’s interview with the executive to be published shortly.
