Jagjit Singh: Bridging the EV Infrastructure Gap

The electric vehicle revolution is more than just a technological shift; it’s a global movement reshaping the way we power our lives, our cities, and our economies. But as the demand for cleaner mobility grows, so does the urgency to overcome one of the industry’s biggest hurdles: infrastructure. Charging accessibility, grid limitations, and region-specific challenges continue to stall progress in markets that are otherwise ready to leap. 

Where others see barriers, Jagjit Singh builds bridges. With over 25 years of international business development expertise, Jagjit has emerged as one of the most influential voices in the electric mobility and clean energy space. Titles or roles do not define his leadership journey—but by the tangible impact he creates across industries and regions. 

Whether he’s forging partnerships in emerging markets, reshaping energy strategies for scalability, or mentoring the next generation of sustainable leaders, Jagjit brings together vision and velocity. “Witnessing the effects of climate change motivated me to pursue solutions that promote cleaner energy,” he says. That belief has been the north star of his career, from his experience building high-power charging infrastructure in Europe to pioneering energy innovations across APAC and beyond. 

EVOS Energy, where he recently served as Director of Business Development for APAC and Global Markets, was one such chapter in this broader mission. But his legacy is far more expansive, rooted in innovation, leadership, and a relentless drive to solve real-world energy challenges with sustainable solutions.  

A Passion for Sustainability and Innovation 

Jagjit Singh’s journey into the EV and sustainable energy sector is rooted in a deep-seated passion for technology and environmental stewardship. For him, the shift towards green energy isn’t just a professional endeavour; it’s a personal mission. 

Over the years, Jagjit has led the charge of developing smart, scalable solutions for emerging markets. “I looked forward to collaborating with talented teams to expand EV infrastructure and promote sustainable practices,” he shares. His leadership has been instrumental in delivering solutions that are not only technologically advanced but also regionally relevant and impactful. 

A Track Record of Strategic Success 

Throughout his career, Jagjit has demonstrated an uncanny ability to align vision with execution. One of his proudest accomplishments was positioning an EV brand in the global market and securing strategic partnerships with Global Companies across APAC and the Middle East for EV charging infrastructure. “This experience highlighted the importance of collaboration and transparent communication,” he says. 

Among his recent milestones was a project with a large utility company to launch a smart charger, which will be solar-powered charging stations in underserved regions. This initiative not only boosted clean energy access but also laid the groundwork for inclusive EV adoption. 

Spotting Opportunities in Emerging Markets 

A hallmark of Jagjit’s leadership style is his ability to spot and unlock value in untapped markets. “I prioritise a comprehensive strategy to identify new market opportunities and drive sustainable market growth,” he says. 

Whether it was India’s FAME scheme or Thailand’s national EV incentives, Jagjit consistently aligned business goals with government priorities. He leveraged deep market research, strategic partnerships with local stakeholders, and constant product innovation to tailor solutions for diverse communities. 

“Some countries offer strong demand and incentives for EVs, while others begin with two- or three-wheelers. Understanding that difference is key,” he notes. His nuanced view of regional dynamics helped accelerate adoption across multiple geographies. 

Innovating for a Greener Tomorrow 

Innovation has always been at the heart of Jagjit’s work. He has led initiatives that integrated software, hardware, and renewable energy. “The key thing is not the charger; it’s the energy,” he often emphasised. 

A major focus of his work has been on energy management platforms that allow for efficient use of energy resources without expensive grid upgrades. He also spearheaded projects that explored microgrid solutions, Battery Storage, and solar-powered charging for remote regions, such as parts of urban and rural Australia. 

“Ensuring that all our solutions are not only sustainable but also economically viable for diverse communities is crucial,” Jagjit says. His vision has always been about more than just technology. It’s about accessibility, equity, and long-term value for the customers. 

Overcoming Industry Barriers 

Innovation alone isn’t enough. The EV sector also faces structural challenges, and Jagjit is acutely aware of all the barriers that need to be overcome. “One of the biggest barriers to EV adoption is the lack of widespread accessible charging stations,” he notes. 

To tackle this, he has focused on partnerships with local Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and businesses, while also advocating for educational initiatives to build consumer awareness. “Building consumer confidence is key to driving adoption across diverse markets,” he adds. 

A Vision Beyond the Present 

Jagjit’s vision extends far beyond quarterly goals or KPIs. “Over the next five years, I see the EV industry evolving through deeper renewable integration, smarter infrastructure, and more inclusive policies,” he says. 

He views his journey across the EV landscape as a continuous mission to empower communities, influence policy, and accelerate innovation. “I envision the industry as a trusted driver of sustainability, influencing policies and practices that support a greener planet for future generations.” 

A Legacy of Leadership and Innovation 

Having held leadership roles at pioneering EV companies, including Tritium, Exicom and EVOS Energy, Jagjit Singh has been at the forefront of the clean energy movement long before it became mainstream. 

“At Tritium, we installed 350-kilowatt chargers across Europe. That work helped pave the way for faster, more efficient charging solutions globally,” he shares. Jagjit has consistently blended strategic foresight with on-the-ground execution to drive scalable impact. 

His legacy is not only marked by innovation and partnerships but also by mentorship and capability building. “I aim to cultivate a culture that prioritises creativity and empowers team members to pursue groundbreaking solutions,” he says. 

Empowering Future Leaders 

Jagjit is also deeply committed to shaping the next generation of EV and clean energy leaders. “Cultivate a strong understanding of technology and market dynamics. Stay informed about trends. Build a diverse skill set,” he advises. 

He encourages aspiring professionals to network actively, engage in sustainability forums, and seek mentorship. “Keep your knowledge updated, stay resilient in the face of challenges, and maintain your passion for sustainability. Your dedication will inspire others.” 

Final Thoughts 

Jagjit Singh’s career is a blueprint for purposeful innovation and leadership in the EV space. While his role at EVOS Energy was a pivotal chapter in his journey, his impact spans far beyond any single organisation. 

With a vision rooted in sustainability and a track record built on execution, Jagjit continues to be a force in shaping the future of electric mobility. And as the world races toward a clean energy future, leaders like him will light the path forward.
