A passionate visionary:
Meet Mateo Sotomayor, WirelessCar’s first Vice President of the new EV Experience Unit

WirelessCar is pleased to announce the appointment of Mateo Sotomayor as our first VP for EV Experience. Stepping into this newly created role, Mateo brings a wealth of experience and an impressive track record in building strong teams, driving innovation and delivering measurable business impact.

The EV ecosystem is growing more complex by the day — and that means there’s a rising need for reliable, innovative partners who can navigate that complexity with confidence. WirelessCar has a vision to be the go-to partner for connected e-mobility solutions, and this is what the newly formed EV Experience unit will work towards. As WirelessCar CEO Niklas Florén explains, we are convinced that Mateo will further strengthen our position as a leader in the development of the global EV market.

“Mateo is an exciting and inspirational addition to the WirelessCar Management Team. His career has transitioned from international business development into entrepreneurship and startups and scale-ups, and from there, into the electric mobility sector. His broad experience will be invaluable in helping us achieve our aim of accelerating electric vehicle adoption by making EV usership simple, stress-free, and accessible to all.”

We sat down with Mateo to discover the values that have defined his career and learn more about his vision for his new role.

What drives you and what is your vision?

Creating life-worthy cities through sustainable technologies has consistently been my North Star. My first experience with electric mobility dates as far back as 2007 and a university project that involved importing electric scooters from China. Over time, this passion has evolved into fully dedicating my work to driving the transformation towards sustainable mobility.

What qualities and insights do you bring from your previous roles?

I have extensive venture building and scaling experience, especially when it comes to transitioning professional services into scalable product businesses. Previously, at Digital Charging Solutions, a joint Venture involving BMW, Mercedes Benz and British Petroleum, I built a profitable business line for electric fleet charging where I securely learned to navigate in the complex and dynamic EV market environments with a strategic yet hands-on approach. I hope people see me as a trusted, reliable partner who is always focused on creating long-term relationships and joint value.

VP for EV Experience is a new role at WirelessCar. Tell us how you see your position and the new team you will lead.

The shift towards electric vehicles is inevitable, driven by mobility and energy transitions worldwide. WirelessCar has key strengths that will drive our success – a strong position close to automakers, an exceptionally motivated and creative team, and a clear vision to shape the future of mobility. Our ambition is to seamlessly connect vehicles not only digitally but physically to energy systems, enabling a sustainable future. My role will be to translate these strengths into real-world solutions, making connected e-mobility the new normal.

Finally, there is a great deal of curiosity at WirelessCar about the new team and your role. Do you have a message for your new colleagues?

Absolutely. Stay curious, stay bold and have fun! Let’s shape the future of mobility together. As Richard Branson once said: “Succeeding in business is all about making connections.” Let’s connect our ideas, our passion, and our talents to ride the wave of electric mobility and lead the transformation.
