Phoenix Contact E-Mobility, located in Schieder, Germany, has created a new US-based company to support the e-mobility market in North America.
Phoenix Contact E-Mobility, located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, is a Phoenix Contact E-Mobility Holding SE subsidiary. The new company will support the on-vehicle programs (inlets and other value-added services) for North American automotive companies building electric vehicles (EVs).
Vince Carioti has been named president and managing director of Phoenix Contact E-Mobility. Before the formation of this company, Carioti spent 27 years with an affiliate company of Phoenix Contact, which included leading the North American e-mobility business development activities as director for the last eight years. Overall, he has 34 years of experience in the automotive industry.
“The US market is of high importance in our global strategy fostering three regions: the US, Europe, and China,” explained Andreas Rau, CEO of Phoenix Contact E-Mobility in Germany. “As soon as 2035, almost one in five cars on the roads is set to be electric in the United States based on today’s energy, climate, and industrial policy settings. The roll-out of appropriate high-performance charging infrastructure will boost the acceptance of e-mobility on a broad scale, which is why an experienced management team will help us to master this critical phase of ramp-up.”
