Leading manufacturer of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and management software, EVBox, has announced plans for a North American headquarters and production facility at Innovation Park, Libertyville, close to Chicago, Illinois.

The new site will enable EVBox to produce around 200 DC charging units per week in the initial phase, creating between 80 and 120 new jobs in the immediate region.

The company already has offices in New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles and says its new centrally located headquarters will enhance EVBox’s North American presence and improve service to its American customers.

With over 6.5 million new EVs expected to be on American roads by 2025, EVBox intends to further strengthen its position as a global EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) industry leader following the move.

Operations at the new facility are expected to begin this summer.
