EcoG, a German EV charging station developer, has received $1.5 million from the Michigan Business Development Program to establish its US headquarters in the Corktown neighborhood of Detroit, Michigan.
EcoG is known for developing hardware and software solutions for interoperable EV charging stations, and the company has more than 60 global partners, including Siemens, Ford, and General Motors.
EcoG entered the European Union’s charging station market in 2022, and, since then, has managed to claim 15% of the total market.
By selecting Detroit, EcoG hopes to capitalize on its own growth and that of Michigan’s e-mobility sector to help serve the entire US with high-tech, fast-charging technology. In total, the new headquarters are projected to generate an additional $14.4 million in private investments and create 45 high-paying jobs for the local economy.
“Right now, there is an unprecedented momentum behind the EV transition in the US. EcoG’s solutions are acting as the catalyst for manufacturers in the US, making it simple to introduce American-built products into the EV charging market and transforming the EV charging landscape across the country,” said Joerg Heuer, CEO and Co-Founder of EcoG.
