SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TeraWatt Infrastructure, a company providing best-in-class charging services for fleets in the U.S., today announced the appointment of Kit Ahuja as head of operations.
“As a pioneer in the commercial charging infrastructure market with a multi-trillion dollar opportunity in front of us, TeraWatt has attracted some of the brightest minds in the industry to help make our vision a reality,” said Neha Palmer, CEO of TeraWatt. “Having accomplished leaders like Kit with broad energy and automotive experience on board ensures we’re developing the most robust and reliable solutions to meet the moment. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome him to our growing team.”
Kit Ahuja brings a decade of experience scaling up operations at leading climate tech companies to his new position heading operations at TeraWatt. In his first year, Kit will be focused on building out the teams that will be responsible for designing, engineering, constructing, and operating TeraWatt’s sites at scale to ensure customer requirements for performance are met. Kit will also oversee technical operations, facilities and EH&S, supply chain and procurement, as well as hardware product and engineering.
Kit was recently recognized by Insider as one of the top 30 leaders in the electric vehicle industry. Before joining TeraWatt, Kit was a founding member of Rivian’s Energy and Charging business. Serving as director, he was instrumental in shaping the go-to-market strategy for Rivian’s Charging Networks and proceeded to lead its Energy Operations group. He was also responsible for the initial planning of Rivian’s Adventure Network of 600+ charging locations, as well as deploying a charging network spanning 13,000 miles across 13 countries in less than six months for the Long Way Up Apple TV+ series.
