Evinfo.net contacted Sona Energy Solutions for comment. Daniel Cohen, Sona Energy Principal and Co-Founder, said:
“For our condominium and multifamily customers, we offer full-service design and station build-out. The challenge has been understanding the unique needs of each property and designing solutions customized for their tenants that are EV drivers. That includes EV charging station incentive research and management, networking and station access, power management, electricity metering and billing, and station maintenance. As we sell and implement these solutions, we’ve found success in making the value-add clear to management and really helping them understand how embracing EV adoption attracts prospective residents and engages their current EV-driving tenants. Our solutions are also designed to adapt easily for future EV charging station demand and growth, ensuring infrastructure capabilities can handle additional station implementation.
Since Sona launched in 2019, we’ve experienced over 100% growth year after year and our goal is to continue that pattern. 2021 was a big year for Sona as we expanded our offerings into the EV charging station space. We’re moving fast to develop customized strategies and solutions for our EV charging customers and plan to continue full speed ahead to embrace the accelerating EV landscape.”

Sona Energy Solutions History
Daniel Cohen, Sona Energy Principal and Co-Founder brings a unique background of professional experience including; financial analysis, business operations and complex B2B sales success to the leadership team.
Immediately following graduating UMass Dartmouth (and turning around a small tennis organization), Dan obtained a financial support position with one of the world’s oldest organizations; Christie’s Inc. (NYC).
In 2005 Daniel was hired by a former colleague at Codiam Inc. to help manage a recently started joint venture with Tiffany & Co (and helped start a second JV within the same partnership). Dan worked in this organization for the following 9 years and through the economic downturn of 2008/9. Dan managed finance and operations for the two multinational (Johannesburg & Gaborone) JV’s. Codiam’s end goal was to sell both JV’s to TCo and this was accomplished in 2012 ($50M+). Sales relationships were maintained until Dan’s departure in 2013.
In 2013 Daniel & his family relocated back to Greater Boston and started a sales role with an electrical contractor (Aetna Corp.). Daniel successfully surpassed sales goals annually by growing relationships and expanding product and service knowledge until his departure almost 6 years later.
In early 2019 Daniel left his National Accounts Sales position and helped launch Sona Energy Solutions LLC with David McSweeney . Sona Energy partners with utility companies, mechanical equipment manufacturers and skilled labor companies to provide large scale commercial energy efficiency projects to North American end use customers and property owners.
