Erick Pinzon

Erick Pinzon began his career as a technician for BMW before a transformative ride in a Tesla Roadster in 2011 shifted his perspective on transportation. He spent nine years with Tesla, working around the country in various roles including service and charging infrastructure, where he was instrumental in installing hundreds of charging stations. An EV advocate and electric vehicle driver since 2013, Erick’s entrepreneurial journey took a significant turn when he partnered with Erin Gatling in 2022. With a strong sailing background and a SpaceX employee she was the perfect match. Together, leveraging Erin’s maritime expertise and Erick’s extensive EV experience, they founded the leading electric-only boat dealership. Housed in Norfolk VA, they repower boats and also have an all-electric rental fleet. Within two years, they have delivered several dozen electric watercrafts and have gotten thousands of “butts in boats” to experience the benefits of electric propulsion. In addition to Electrified Marina, they are spearheading the redevelopment of Willoughby Marina, aiming to transform it into the world’s most sustainable marina. Their combined efforts and vision continue to drive innovation and growth in the electric boating industry.
