More EV charging startups raising capital.

Detroit-based Treehouse raises $10M to make installation of home EV chargers easier.

"There's not a series of hand-offs between different companies in the marketplace ... We own the customer experience end to end, and we deliver the job through licensed electricians who work for Treehouse."

If you’re an entrepreneur or investor now is a GREAT time to be looking at the EV charging sector.

The convergence of technology, customer demand, government spending, and venture capital is unprecedented.

The companies created, technology developed, and careers started in the EV charging space over the next few years will shape our economy and infrastructure for future generations.

Extremely saddened to hear of Arne Sorenson’s passing. My wife has worked at @MarriottIntl for 14 years and spoke often of his leadership, integrity, and authenticity. His death is a huge loss for the business world, @Marriott employees, and our local community.
