Erick Pinzon Jr
Co- Owner
With over a decade of experience in electric vehicle technology, my passion lies at the intersection of innovation and sustainability. I spent 9 years at Tesla, where I led the installation of hundreds of EV charging stations, opened and ran some of the top service centers in the country, and helped launch the mobile service program. I have since co-founded Electrified Marina, the #1 electric boat dealer in the US. Our Norfolk-based company specializes in electric boat sales, and boat repowering. We offer a diverse fleet of electric watercraft, from leisurely picnic boats to high-performance vessels.
Alongside this, we are spearheading the transformation of Willoughby Marina into one of the world's most sustainable marinas. Our goal is to push the marine industry forward with a more sustainable approach and help set new standards.
