Universal CEO Hemal Doshi says there are opportunities for its chargepoint business in the hospitality sector

Speaking at the EV Charging Summit & Expo in Las Vegas (March 29-31), company founder and CEO Hemal Doshi told EV Charging & Infrastructure that the company is a chargepoint operator, an installer and "everything in between".

He added: "We are one of the very few vertically integrated companies right now in this space who offer services all the way from hardware to the software."

Doshi says the fact that Universal Green Group manufactures its own chargers and has its own supply chain has helped it solve the issue of hardware reliability.

Universal sees particularly big opportunities for its chargepoint business in the hospitality sector.

Increasing public confidence in EV charging infrastructure adequacy

Next month's EV Charging Summit & Expo (EVCS) in Las Vegas on March 20-22 is set to play an important role in addressing a significant problem facing the North American EV industry: that the majority of eager EV buyers don’t have confidence they will have access to an adequate charging infrastructure. Event producer Breanna Jacobs tells EV Charging & Infrastructure that EVCS will bring together policymakers, industry players, the media, and commercial buyers worldwide to address this issue.
