ABOUT CHRISTIAN

Christian Belloso is no ordinary 21-year-old. As the CEO of TimeCharge, he's on a mission to reshape the electric vehicle (EV) charging experience for users across the U.S. Hailing from Venezuela, Belloso moved to the States at 13, embodying a relentless spirit and a penchant for finding solutions.

His journey began as a child, showcasing an innate ability to confront challenges head-on. These early traits laid the foundation for TimeCharge, inspired by Belloso’s personal struggles with EV charging in a setting where home chargers were not an option. Despite the hurdles of inadequate public charging infrastructure, Belloso viewed it as an opportunity rather than an impediment.

With TimeCharge, he's tackling the key pain points of EV owners, emphasizing accessibility, user experience, and efficiency. The startup is deeply rooted in the belief that the charging experience should cater to everyone, no matter where they live. And safety? That’s top of the list, ensuring the secure installation and upkeep of charging stations.

Belloso stands out as a beacon of innovation in the EV sector, showcasing a captivating tale of ambition and creativity from his roots in Venezuela to his endeavors in the States. Currently in the midst of a fundraising round with a goal of $2.5 million, he's poised to elevate TimeCharge to new heights. This infusion of capital will propel the expansion of TimeCharge, hone its services, and reinforce its rigorous safety standards.

As he gears up to redefine the EV charging realm, Belloso is a testament to the fact that determination knows no age. With a laser-focused approach to problem-solving, he's set to usher in a transformative era in EV charging.
