Havo’s EV platform has been designed from the ground up specifically for delivery fleet vehicles to maximize efficiency, safety and functionality bringing together charging, full fleet telematics, mobile servicing, nationwide service centers, purchasing and insurance into a single platform. All built for commercial customers’ needs”.
“We had no doubts about the opportunity presented to us by the dynamic and passionate CEO and Founder, Kendall Chow, who brings expertise in hardware, software, supply chain, manufacturing, and data. We look forward to a long term partnership and seeing Havo Vans roll out onto our US roads and highways”.
Mr Kendall Chow, CEO and Founder, Havo Inc. commented, “We’re thrilled to be working with Carlos Santos and the team at Ethos to bring Havo’s leading last-mile commercial EV’s to market.
