ADS-TEC Energy GmbH (“ADS-TEC Energy”) (the “Company”), a leading company in battery-buffered ultra fast charging technology, today announced its expansion into the United States with the establishment of a US subsidiary, and the appointment of a key executive for sales, including the hiring of an experienced US sales team.  

The establishment of a US subsidiary accelerates the Company’s planned expansion into the US, due to positive market momentum around the EV ecosystem as well as significant potential customer interest. As part of ADS-TEC Energy’s expansion into the US, the Company announced that John Neville has joined as Chief Sales Officer and a member of the executive management team.

I am excited to work with John, and the rest of the ADS-TEC Energy team, as we continue to accelerate the intelligent transition to an all-electric world.” 
“ADS-TEC Energy has developed truly differentiated technology platforms that help address a major bottleneck in the transition to e-mobility, and I am honored to have the opportunity to help further their expansion and growth around the world,” said Neville. “This opportunity is a natural fit given my experience, and I share the Company’s mission of creating more sustainable societies for the future.”
