EasyGo, the biggest private car charging network operator in Ireland, has today announced the appointment of Oliver Chatten as the company's new CEO.
Mr Chatten is a former executive at the Digicel Group.
Today's appointment further bolsters the EasyGo executive team, with the recent announcements of Mick McAteer on the executive committee and David Fitzgerald as its Chief Revenue Officer.
Chris Kelly, Head of International Infrastructure Strategy at EasyGo, said today's appointment is a major coup for EasyGo and continues an exciting phase for the company.
"Our mission is to decarbonise transport by providing accessible and efficient EV charging solutions for all motorists across Ireland," Mr Kelly said.
"We have ambitious targets, and by 2032 we will roll out over 3,000 fast DC chargers onto the national charging network while adding over 20,000 commercial AC chargers into apartment buildings, hotels and other key locations," he added.
2023 was a busy year for EasyGo, which saw investment of €30m by Aviva Investors and the creation of 60 jobs at the firm.
Meanwhile, Rubicon Capital Advisors, through its asset management business, also announced it had increased its investment in EasyGo to an over 50% shareholding, after its initial first investment in EasyGo three years ago.
EasyGo's EV charging network provides access to over 4,000 charging points in 1,500 locations across Ireland.
The EasyGo app currently has over 60,000 registered subscribers and grew by about 2,000 new users each month last year.
