🎉 itselectric, a Brooklyn-based electric vehicle curbside charging company, today announced its $6.5M seed round. The raise was led by Failup Ventures and Uber. With participation from Halogen Ventures, Partnership for New York City, Pulse Fund, Newlab, Gratitude Railroad, Tale Venture Partners, The Equity Alliance, Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI) Impact Fund, and The Helm will support deployments across seven cities in the United States in 2024, including Boston, Los Angeles, Detroit, Jersey City, and San Francisco. With fresh funding, itselectric’s curbside charging infrastructure will also help support Uber’s goal of helping rideshare drivers go electric. 🌎 2023 was the hottest year on record with transportation being the third largest contributor of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. But transportation is also a sector where the choice to drive electric will create a collective difference. Our mission is to make charging easy, convenient, and affordable not only for drivers, but for cities,  providing the pathway for everyone to go electric. “itselectric has designed an innovative public charging solution that addresses the infrastructural barriers that cities face in the deployment of electric vehicle curbside charging,” said Topias Soininen, general partner at Failup Ventures. “Their thoughtfully designed chargers are a highly scalable solution that will rapidly bring curbside charging to the millions of city drivers who park on the street and contribute to the nationwide adoption of electric vehicles.” "We are thrilled to invest in itselectric as part of our push for an all-electric future,” said Camiel Irving, GM of Uber US & Canada. "Electric rideshare drivers cut emissions up to four times more than regular motorists, but many lack off-street parking and home charging options. itselectric is innovating to address this and expand overnight curbside charging, helping more drivers confidently go electric, ease range anxiety, and boost earnings potential."      “itselectric is revolutionizing urban infrastructure,” said Jesse Draper founding partner, Halogen Ventures. “Their mission to bring highly accessible curbside charging combined with economic benefits to urban communities, offers an innovative solution for a problem we need to urgently solve. We’re incredibly excited about itselectric as they expand across cities to make sustainable transportation a reality across the nation” Read the full story in Fortune https://lnkd.in/e7DuKYNf

☀ Faces of the Climate Economy: NECEC Ecosystem Working to Build Sustainable Systems Across the Northeast 🌎  At NECEC, we are committed to driving diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice values (DEIJ) in the climate economy. This week, we're thrilled to continue our "Faces of the Climate Economy," initiative to highlight the people working hard to accelerate the just transition. Every week, we'll shine a spotlight on the remarkable individuals driving innovation and impact across the clean energy and cleantech industries. From visionary entrepreneurs to passionate advocates, we'll showcase the diverse talent shaping our planet's future. Today, we're thrilled to introduce Judy Chang, an urban planner specializing in transportation, infrastructure resiliency, sustainability, and operations. As the Project Director at itselectric, a building-powered curbside EV charging company based in Brooklyn, NY, she leads planning and deployments as the team expands its innovative solution to the lack of – and challenges to quickly implementing – charging infrastructure across the country. Judy manages relationships with property partners, conducts spatial analysis to ensure appropriate and equitable deployments, and works alongside cities as they develop processes to make widespread curbside charging possible in the near future. This work builds on over a decade of experience at the New York City Department of Transportation. When asked what advice she'd give to aspiring innovators, Judy said "Find and stick to people who are curious about and open to new perspectives, and who aren’t deterred by temporary setbacks. Be patient. There’s so much work left to do to combat the effects of climate change, and so much to learn. There’s also so much good momentum to build on, and every contribution matters."

Hey Boston!  (we like your curbs) it's electric has been selected by the City of Boston to expand access to curbside EV charging. This contract is a result of Boston’s groundbreaking search to establish a public-private partnership that will help the city demonstrate a successful, scalable model of deploying EV charging stations in the public right-of-way. Mayor Michelle Wu's commitment to ensuring every household in Boston is within a five-minute walk of a public EV charging station highlights the city's dedication to equity and her #GreenNewDeal promise. Our partnership with Boston is about more than just infrastructure; it's about making sure all Bostonians, regardless of their neighborhood, can drive electric and actively participate in the transition to clean energy.
