Former Tesla charging team leaders Martin Sukup and Jeff Inhofer joined EVgo, with Sukup taking on the role of Executive Vice President of Engineering and Inhofer serving as the Vice President of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Engineering. Effective August 12, 2024, General Motors veteran Alex Keros will join EVgo as Senior Vice President of Product.

Bringing their extensive expertise in product, engineering, EV charging hardware and software, these leaders will accelerate EVgo’s efforts to develop next generation charging architecture that is designed to deliver an elevated customer experience while achieving new cost efficiencies.

Sukup comes to EVgo after 14 years at Tesla. He held leadership positions at Tesla in residential product architecture and charging systems where he delivered multiple generations of Superchargers, as well as other AC charging and residential energy products. He will be responsible for EVSE hardware and software, data management, reliability, and quality.

Inhofer will work on developing the next generations of EVSE for the EVgo charging network. In his 10 years at Tesla, he developed products for the global Supercharger network and later moved to Tesla’s solar engineering team to support residential solar installations.

Keros spent nearly 18 years at General Motors commercialising advanced technology and establishing new business models to enable the deployment of EVs, fuel cells, shared mobility, and charging infrastructure. He will soon join EVgo to focus on product and services strategy, including market research and defining product requirements to ensure a seamless customer experience.
