"Today, we’re not just cutting a ribbon, we’re making history!" – Elizabeth Perez, co-founder of VESCO.
A momentous milestone was achieved in the Imperial Valley as Calexico Crossings officially opened its doors, marking the region's first-ever medium-duty EV charging hub. This pioneering development is a testament to the vision and dedication of VESCO and its co-founders – Elizabeth Perez, Joey Palano, Jason Davis, and Rick Halperin.
Calexico Crossings boasts an impressive infrastructure, featuring 8 fast chargers and stations designed specifically for heavy-duty vehicles. This cutting-edge hub is not just a place for electric vehicles to recharge; it’s also a space that fosters growth for both commercial freight and local businesses. It’s the kind of forward-thinking solution that will benefit our entire community for years to come.
Sher Cowie, President & CEO of IVRCC, eloquently spoke about the significance of this project, emphasizing that it represents more than just a technological advancement – it’s a step toward sustainability and economic opportunity for the Imperial Valley. This project is an exciting glimpse into a cleaner, greener future that brings new opportunities for local businesses and helps to drive our region’s economy forward.
We’d also like to extend a special thank you to Calexico Mayor Diana Nuricumbo, who attended the event and shared her thoughtful words. Her leadership, along with the support from Assemblymembers, Congressmembers, and Senator Steve Padilla, helped bring this project to life. Their recognition and certificates reflect the collaborative efforts and the positive impact this development will have on our community.
The partnership between the public and private sectors has resulted in an innovative project that exemplifies the power of collaboration. VESCO’s work is helping to pave the way for a cleaner, smarter future in the Imperial Valley.
