Chris is the CEO for the Electrified Garage. His responsibilities include high level business development, Executing company strategy, Setting Strategy and direction and developing outside vendor relationships.
Chris was a technician under Chad Hrencecin at BMW of Peabody. He left to take care of his sick father and began a career with BMW Performance Parts at Turner Motorsport. He eventually went back to be a technician and started at Tesla in Watertown in January 2013
After about 8 months, he finally convinced Chad to come work at Tesla as well. Chris transitioned over to managing the parts department. He is the one who famously told Rich Benoit, (Aka Rich Rebuilds) “Sorry, I can’t sell you a battery for your car.”
Chris combined his previous experience with BMW Performance Parts with his new knowledge of Tesla vehicles to start EV Tuning LLC. Chris soon left Tesla to continue with EV Tuning full time. He ran into Rich at an EV event and apologized for not selling him parts at Tesla. They both talked about their new business ventures and how it made sense to partner up. The product of those talks is what we now know as The Electrified Garage.
