ADS-TEC Energy announced continued expansion in the United States market with the appointment of Gowton Achaibar as president and CEO for the company's recently-created U.S. subsidiary, and John Tuccillo as global head of corporate affairs for the parent, ADS-TEC Energy. The company also announced an expanded search for local production and delivery with a U.S.-based factory. The new senior executives are tasked with leading ADS-TEC Energy's growth and operations in support of customer and partner interest in the company's high-speed charging technology for electric vehicles (EVs).

Both Achaibar and Tuccillo report to Thomas Speidel, founder and CEO of ADS-TEC Energy. Achaibar will manage the overall U.S. subsidiary and build a services business for the company in the U.S. market. Under his leadership the company will accelerate a search for a North American manufacturing location.

Achaibar brings more than 30 years of experience building and leading services-based businesses for companies including Dell Technologies and Ericsson. He led the larger services team for Ericsson in North America, with $4.2 billion in sales and 15,000 services professionals. Tuccillo will oversee all aspects of ADS-TEC Energy's global marketing communications, and industry relations while building a presence for the company in government and public affairs relative to critical energy transitions and EV charging infrastructure.

Tuccillo previously served as a global business sustainability advisor to Fortune 500 companies and held executive positions for 15 years at Schneider Electric, most recently as corporate SVP of global industry and government affairs. At a time when the world needs tangible and scalable solutions to face climate change, ADS-TEC Energy's battery-buffered technology enables widespread, ultra-fast charging (up to 320 kW) on existing power-limited grids without additional infrastructure power upgrades. This allows for the introduction of ultra-fast charging to previously unaddressed geographies and segments such as city centers, remote and rural areas, helping to ensure more inclusive access to EV charging.
