Volkswagen AG says Mark McNabb has left his job as the head of the company’s Electrify America LLC unit.
McNabb previously has held top executive positions with General Motors, Maserati, Mercedes-Benz and Nissan. His 20-year stint at Nissan culminated in being senior vice president of the company’s North America sales and marketing organization.
Giovanni Palazzo (right) will succeed McNabb at Electrify America at an unspecified time later this year. Palazzo joined VW in 2011 and currently heads the company’s e-mobility business strategy. Jan Vycital, the chief financial officer of Electrify America and Volkswagen Group of America, will act as the interim CEO until Palazzo assumes the position.
Electrify America plans to install 2,800 Level 2 charging stations at 500 locations across the U.S. by mid-2019 with another 200 quick-charge stations due to be added later. Last month the company announced plans to install 100 chargers at Walmart locations in 34 states, which would make the retail giant the largest EV charging station host in the country.
