We’re thrilled to share that our co-founder and COO, Charnjit Saranna, has been recognised by Auto30Club as a recipient of its 2026 Inspiring Automotive Women Award.
This award celebrates individuals who lead inclusively, drive cultural change, and serve as role models within the automotive industry. It recognises passion, purpose, drive and commitment – values that sit at the heart of everything we do at EZOO.
Almost 30 Years in Automotive
With a career spanning almost three decades in the automotive industry, Charnjit co-founded EZOO in 2018 alongside her husband Lash. From day one, the mission has been clear: to play a driving role in accelerating the transition to electrification through our service offer and personalised customer care.
What sets us apart is our commitment to making EV adoption simple and accessible. By offering the largest possible choice of electric vehicles with flexible Salary Sacrifice and Business Subscription options, we’ve designed a system that gets people behind the wheel of an electric car quickly and easily.
A Champion for Diversity and Inclusion
The judges were particularly impressed with Charnjit’s continued work to make the automotive industry a welcoming career for the next generation of female business leaders. As a true champion of diversity and inclusion, she’s helped to put EZOO on the map as a business that challenges the status quo and does things differently.
Commenting on the announcement, Charnjit said: “I’m delighted to be named alongside some of the automotive industry’s most inspiring female leaders in the Auto30Club’s Inspiring Automotive Women Award. Championing underrepresented groups and helping women to thrive in the workplace is one of my passions, so I’m glad it has helped to put EZOO on the map as a business challenging the status quo and doing things differently.
“When Lash and I founded the business, we wanted to create a totally unique offer that really worked for our customers. By offering the largest possible choice of EVs with a range of leasing and subscription options, we’ve designed a system to get people behind the wheel of an electric car quickly and easily, making the transition to EV simple!”
The Awards Ceremony
The full list of award recipients will be unveiled on Wednesday 11 March 2026, as part of a VIP reception at the Hotel Intercontinental on Park Lane, London. Taking place alongside the IMI Awards Dinner, an overall winner will also be named on the night.
Latest in a String of Successes
This recognition is the latest in a long line of recent successes for both Charnjit and EZOO. Alongside expanding the team and announcing a number of important new partnerships, such as our partnership with benefits platform Engage Health Group, we’ve taken home a whole host of awards over the past 12 months – including Charnjit being named as one of ElectricDrive’s Top Women in EV.
We’re incredibly proud of Charnjit’s achievement and what it represents – not just for her personally, but for our entire team and the values we stand for as a business.
