Alpitronic Americas, a globally recognized name in the electric vehicle (EV) charging industry, has officially opened its U.S. headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina. This move marks a significant step forward in the company’s ambitious plans to expand its reach and establish a robust network of chargers across North America.
The decision to establish a U.S. presence is fueled by the rapidly increasing adoption of electric vehicles by consumers. However, a crucial barrier to wider EV adoption remains – the lack of a dependable and widespread charging infrastructure. Alpitronic Americas aims to bridge this gap by providing superior engineering and design, ensuring reliable and efficient charging experiences for EV owners.
“While adoption is increasing, one of the main reasons some Americans hesitate to purchase an EV is the lack of a reliable network of chargers across the country,” explained Mike Doucleff, Alpitronic Americas CEO. “We are excited to bring Alpitronic’s superior engineering and design to the American market—delivering reduced charging time, increased reliability, and building confidence among consumers.”
Alpitronic’s Hyperchargers are renowned for their exceptional performance and efficiency, boasting an average efficiency rate exceeding 97.5 percent. This translates to quicker charging times and optimal energy usage for EV owners. The company’s comprehensive repair and service network ensures that chargers can be serviced anywhere in the country, providing peace of mind to both consumers and businesses.
The expansion into the U.S. market is a natural progression for Alpitronic, which has already achieved market leadership in Europe. This move allows the company to leverage its proven expertise and introduce its cutting-edge Hyperchargers to a new audience. Philipp Senoner, Alpitronic Co-Founder and CEO, stated, “As a natural part of Alpitronic’s growth, we are anxious to expand our industry-leading Hypercharger network from Europe, where we are market-share leader, to North America. We are pleased with the talent we are finding in North Carolina and look forward to setting a new standard for the EV charging network in the U.S.”
Alpitronic Americas is a subsidiary of Alpitronic SRL, headquartered in Bolzano, Italy. The company’s new 68,000 square-foot headquarters in Charlotte encompasses a state-of-the-art diagnostics laboratory and repair center, a spacious spare parts warehouse, and a dedicated training center. The facility can accommodate up to 300 employees. The company is committed to sustainability and has incorporated several eco-friendly features, including a solar array on the roof to offset energy consumption, motion-sensing lighting to reduce energy use, and low-maintenance plantings with a smart irrigation system to conserve water.
Alpitronic’s commitment to sustainability and its contributions to the advancement of EV technology have been recognized by both local and national leaders. “It is a great day when we can add global leaders like Alpitronic to the outstanding companies who call Charlotte home,” said Mayor Vi Lyles. “In addition to creating good-paying jobs for our citizens, Alpitronic’s values are consistent with Charlotte’s goal to be a leader in environmental sustainability as we pursue economic growth for our city.”
Alpitronic has a proven track record of success in Europe, serving some of the continent’s most well-known brands, including Aldi, Amazon, BP, Circle K, McDonald’s, Shell, and automakers Audi, BMW, Jaguar, KIA, Mercedez-Benz and others. With its expansion into the U.S. market, Alpitronic is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of EV charging and accelerating the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable transportation system.
