In this episode, we actually have a bit of a flashback for you – I sit down to chat with Tiya Gordon, co-founder and COO of It’s Electric, creating curbside EV charging specifically built for cities. Before I even go into what we talk about, I’d like to shout out what Tiya has done in the few months since recording this episode in December:

  • She was part of the Green Economy Action Plan, a landmark green jobs plan for NYC
  • Has appeared on NPR,
  • Was awarded the 2023 Top 10 Innovator award for Transportation Electrification by Darcy Partners, 
  • Was featured in Forbes, 
  • Spoke at Davos, 
  • Received a  $1.5M award from the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation enabling cities to deploy our innovative and community centered model of public charging. 
  • And just last week, she announced that It’s Electric has created the first UL certified detachable cable charger 

That’s not mentioning all the recognitions they collected in 2023 but I’ll leave you all to read about those on your own. Tiya and I have met a few times in a few different context, but it was a real pleasure being able to do this with her and tbh I think we’re already due for a part two.---🌎 Want the full PodLetter?
