The EN Plus CEO has a background in cost control and a name on award-winning charger designs. His next challenge is less photogenic: making the pieces of electric mobility work together.

A childhood entrepreneur with a taste for cars, the FLO co-founder built his career around a question every electric driver eventually asks: where will I charge? The answer has taken him from Université Laval to a North American network - and through the harder business of keeping it running.

The Xeal co-founder learned EV charging’s least glamorous lesson in concrete garages: if the network disappears, the product cannot. His answer was to move the essential work closer to the plug.
