Chris Nielsen

Founder, CEO of Electric Cab North America. From initially recognizing in 2008 the need for microtransit In Austin, he grew the Electric Cab fleet into the largest of its kind in the US. His vision for urban mobility encompasses connected low speed electric vehicles and mass transportation providers working in tandem with public and private entities to reduce traffic congestion by solving the elusive last-mile mobility puzzle. eCab is currently part of a DOE Rural Mobility project in the Bastrop, TX in coordination with the Capital Area Rural Transportation System (CARTS). The eCabs provide on-demand short trips and first / last mile extensions trips to CARTS customers using low speed electric vehicles.
