Our Mission
Democratize access to EV charging for every apartment dweller.
Born from a personal challenge, HeyCharge evolved into a global mission enabling climate-friendly, stress-free EV charging for everyone.
Our Story
From frustration
to innovation.
HeyCharge started when our founders experienced firsthand the challenge of charging an EV without a private garage. Living in an apartment building with underground parking, they discovered that installing a charger meant navigating impossible infrastructure requirements.
The solution? Build charging infrastructure that doesn't need any infrastructure. No internet. No network cables. No SIM cards. Just Bluetooth, cryptography, and a radically simple approach.
Today, HeyCharge powers charging for thousands of EV drivers across Europe and the US, proving that apartment dwellers deserve the same easy charging experience as homeowners.
"If you can't plug in at home, you can't go electric. We're changing that."
Leadership
Meet the founders.
Chris Cardé
Founder & CEO
Chris founded HeyCharge to address a structural flaw in EV charging: too much infrastructure cost, too much fragility, and too little security.
His background spans software, automotive R&D, and energy. He worked at Google, advanced vehicle electrification at Mercedes-Benz Research & Development North America, contributed to early EV research at the UC Davis Hybrid Electric Vehicle Center, and operated inside the utility world at E.ON.
He has seen electrification from lab bench to grid edge. At HeyCharge, he blends deep technical fluency with commercial execution — building patented technology that reduces infrastructure cost, removes connectivity dependency, and positions the company as a foundational platform layer in EV charging.
Robert Lasowski
Founder and CBDO
Robert brings a rare product-meets-opportunity-meets-sales perspective to the HeyCharge founding team.
His career spans automotive, consulting, fleet, and mobility ecosystems at BMW, Capgemini, SIXT, and ERGO Mobility Solutions. He understands how mobility markets evolve — where value is created, where friction appears, and how to turn both into scalable business.
At HeyCharge, Robert bridges market insight with disciplined execution. He ensures that product strategy, customer demand, and commercial growth stay tightly aligned — building not just innovation, but durable momentum.
