365 Pronto EV Lead Attends CES 2022

For more than half a century, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has been the premier place to roll out some of modern history’s most iconic innovations. From the first videocassette players to satellite radio to mobile devices, the world watches CES—sponsored by the Consumer Technology Association—to learn what is new and next.

As electric vehicles (EV) continue to increase in popularity, EV charging equipment and accessories were a key attraction at CES, said Robert Rizzo, 365 Pronto’s Vice President of EV Solutions and Infrastructure. Rizzo attended the 2022 CES, which took place January 5-7, at the Las Vegas Convention Center and through a virtual component.

More than 200 companies were on hand to unveil new or updated automotive technology or products related to electric vehicle charging.
