There's growing demand for technicians trained to service EV chargers.
Electric vehicle charging stations are popping up everywhere, sparking a growing demand for technicians trained to service them.
A lot of things can go wrong with EV chargers, such as broken screens or damaged plugs, power interruptions, network connection failures or faulty credit card payment systems — even a dollop of bird poop could be a turnoff for some drivers.About 48,000 public chargers currently dot the U.S., offering a range of power levels and speeds.
Many providers boast about network "uptimes" of 95%-98% — yet that doesn't always line up with reality."There's a lot of passing of the buck," says Matt Teske, founder and CEO of Chargeway, a startup focused on simplifying EV charging for consumers.
