Nassir Farooq

Job Title: CEO
Company: EV Hub
Country: Norway

Nassir Farooq has a background as an automotive technician, completing his trade certificate in 2007. He started his career working with Audi at Møller Bil Skøyen, before continuing with technical work on military vehicles (CV90 and M113) in Northern Norway. In 2012-2013, he started his own workshop, which later grew into a Bosch Car Service workshop in Oslo - at the time one of the cleanest and most modern Bosch workshops in the city.Early on, he saw the shift towards electric vehicles and specialized in EVs, particularly Tesla. After gaining attention through hands-on work and exposure (including a visit from Bjorn Nyland), he experienced strong growth in demand for EV diagnostics and high-voltage repairs. Over time, he transitioned the majority of the customer base from fossil vehicles to 80-90% electric vehicles.This led to the development of a structured EV inspection system, including a 130-point health check for electric and hybrid vehicles, with documentation of condition, repair cost before/after, and CO₂ savings.Based on this experience, he founded EV HUB in 2022. Today, EV HUB supports workshops and markets across Europe with EV competence, certification, and standardized workflows - building an ecosystem to extend the lifecycle of electric vehicles to match the longevity he has historically seen in cars like the Volvo 240.

User Success Stories and Best Cases: What We Can Learn From the Norwegian Case, and What Norway Can Learn From Others

For more than two decades, Norway has been steadily building a marketplace for electric transport. Having started out with inexpensive short-range electric cars and household charging sockets, Norway has now moved to mass-market solutions where fast charging (DC) and grid balancing (AC) plays an ever more vital role. With more than 1,000,000 electric cars and over 10,000 fast chargers in a relatively small market, Norway offers a rare early view of large-scale electrification. Over the past decade, electric cars have seen substantial improvements, which is now making it easier for new markets to advance electrification. At the same time, Norway has to deal with challenges years before other markets do. Yet despite different starting points, we can see that most markets are facing the same core challenges. From grid-smart charging strategies to innovative business models, there are excellent examples of best practices emerging elsewhere in Europe. What will the next thing in electrification be, both in mature and in emerging markets? And what will be possible when the right people and companies come together, sharing knowledge, solving common problems and accelerating the shift to cleaner mobility?
