Phoenix Motor appoints John Walsh as president and PhoenixEV CEO

Phoenix Motor Inc. (OTC:PEVMD) announced Monday the appointment of John Walsh as president of the company, effective immediately. Walsh was also named chief executive officer of PhoenixEV, the company’s U.S.-based subsidiary focused on commercial electric vehicles.

According to a statement in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing, Walsh, 59, brings more than 35 years of leadership experience in the transit and electric mobility sectors. Most recently, he served as president of EO Charging Americas from 1989 to 2025, leading commercial fleet electrification initiatives across North America. Between March 2023 and August 2025, Walsh was chief commercial officer at Proterra Inc., overseeing the Transit, Powered, and Energy business units.

According to InvestingPro data, the company has achieved impressive revenue growth of 143% over the last twelve months, though maintaining profitability remains a challenge.

Phoenix Motor’s common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Pink Limited Market under the symbol PEVMD, following a suspension of trading on Nasdaq on April 15, 2025.
