With a career rooted in the EV sector and a passion for sustainability, Jagjit has become a driving force in the global push towards clean energy. “Witnessing the effects of climate change motivated me to pursue solutions that promote cleaner energy,” he says. His work is a testament to the power of human ingenuity and the belief that a better future is possible.
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. “Witnessing the effects of climate change motivated me to pursue solutions that promote cleaner energy,” he says. For Jagjit, the shift towards green energy isn’t just a professional endeavor—it’s a personal mission.
At EVOS Energy, Jagjit is excited about the company’s innovative electric products and its cutting-edge SaaS platform, which integrates electric vehicles with renewable energy sources. “I look forward to collaborating with the talented team to expand EV infrastructure and promote sustainable practices,” he shares. For him, being part of EVOS Energy means playing a key role in creating a cleaner, greener future for communities and the planet.
A Track Record of Strategic Success
Jagjit’s career is marked by a series of impressive achievements, but one stands out as particularly transformative. “I’m particularly proud of positioning the EVOS brand in the global market and securing a strategic partnership for EV charging,” he recalls. This partnership involved developing a solid business case and building relationships with customers who shared EVOS Energy’s vision for sustainability.
The project, which involved a large utility company, is set to launch solar-powered charging stations for electric vehicles, improving access to clean energy in underserved areas. “This experience has shaped my approach at EVOS by highlighting the importance of collaboration and transparent communication,” Jagjit explains. His strategy revolves around aligning the strategic goals of EVOS Energy with those of its partners and investors, creating mutually beneficial outcomes that drive impactful initiatives.
Spotting Opportunities in Emerging Markets
As the Director of Business Development for APAC and Global Markets, Jagjit is tasked with identifying new opportunities in regions with untapped potential. His approach is both strategic and methodical. “I prioritize a comprehensive strategy to identify new market opportunities and drive sustainable growth for EVOS Energy,” he says.
Jagjit begins with thorough market research to understand regional trends and customer needs. He then focuses on emerging markets with strong demand for sustainable energy solutions. “Some countries have really good incentives for EVs, and automobile manufacturers have specific criteria for the countries they want to focus on,” he explains. For instance, India’s FAME scheme and Thailand’s government incentives are creating fertile ground for EV adoption.
But Jagjit’s strategy goes beyond market research. He fosters strategic partnerships with local stakeholders and government agencies to enhance EVOS Energy’s market presence. “I also emphasize innovative product development tailored to specific market demands,” he adds. By leveraging data analytics and customer feedback, Jagjit ensures that EVOS Energy’s solutions are not only sustainable but also economically viable for diverse communities.
Innovating for a Greener Tomorrow
Innovation is at the heart of EVOS Energy’s mission, and Jagjit is a driving force behind the company’s latest energy solutions. “EVOS Energy is currently working on several innovative energy solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of various APAC and global markets,” he reveals. One of the key initiatives is the company’s SaaS platform, which allows customers to manage energy efficiently without the need for costly grid upgrades.
“The key thing is not the charger—it’s the energy,” Jagjit emphasizes. The SaaS platform is designed to integrate renewable energy sources with local energy needs, particularly in remote areas. “In Australia, for example, many people in rural areas want to charge their cars using solar energy. We’re working on innovative SaaS platforms that will help customers charge their cars through clean energy sources like solar panels,” he explains.
Jagjit also highlights the importance of aligning innovative solutions with local regulations and market demands. “Ensuring that all our solutions are not only sustainable but also economically viable for diverse communities is crucial,” he says.
Overcoming Industry Barriers
The EV market is not without its challenges, and Jagjit is acutely aware of the barriers that need to be overcome. “The EV market faces several challenges, including insufficient charging infrastructure,” he notes. The lack of widespread accessible charging stations remains a significant deterrent for potential EV buyers.
To address these issues, EVOS Energy is actively expanding its product offerings and SaaS platform through partnerships with local Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and businesses. “We’re investing in innovative solutions to tailor bespoke solutions for our CPOs and partners,” Jagjit explains. Additionally, the company is focusing on educational campaigns to raise awareness about the benefits of EVs and charging solutions. “Building consumer confidence is key to driving adoption across diverse markets,” he says.
A Vision for the Future
Looking ahead, Jagjit’s long-term vision for EVOS Energy is clear: to be a leading force in the global sustainable energy space. “Over the next five years, I see us expanding our footprint into emerging markets and developing more innovative energy solutions that cater to diverse regional needs,” he shares. The company will also focus on integrating renewable energy sources into its offerings and empowering communities to adopt EVs on a larger scale.
“I envision EVOS Energy as a trusted partner in sustainability, influencing policies and practices that support a greener planet for future generations,” Jagjit says. His vision is not just about business growth—it’s about creating a lasting impact on the global energy sector.
A Legacy of Leadership and Innovation
When asked about the legacy he hopes to leave, Jagjit’s response is both humble and ambitious. “I hope to leave a legacy in the EV sector where future generations will remember us as pioneers who started working in the EV industry,” he reflects. Having started his career with Tritium, an Australian company that manufactured high-power chargers, Jagjit has been at the forefront of EV innovation for years.
“At Tritium, we installed over 350-kilowatt chargers across Europe, and now at EVOS Energy, we’re manufacturing AC chargers and pushing the boundaries of sustainable energy solutions,” he says. Jagjit’s commitment to sustainability, collaboration, and innovation is unwavering. “I aim to cultivate a culture that prioritizes creativity and empowers team members to pursue groundbreaking solutions,” he adds.
Building Strong Teams for a Sustainable Future
Jagjit is not just a leader—he’s a mentor and advocate for building strong, talented teams. “I advise aspiring EV and sustainable energy leaders to cultivate a strong understanding of technology and market dynamics,” he says. He emphasizes the importance of staying informed about emerging trends and building a diverse skill set that includes project management, data analysis, and stakeholder engagement.
“Prioritizing collaboration and networking is crucial,” Jagjit adds. He encourages aspiring leaders to connect with industry experts, join relevant organizations, and engage in discussions about sustainability. “Mentorship is invaluable. Seek guidance from experienced leaders who can share insights and advice,” he advises.
