**LOS ANGELES** – As the US races to build out a robust electric vehicle charging network, a new challenge has emerged: ensuring those chargers stay operational. Entrepreneur Kameale Terry, founder of ChargerHelp!, has taken on the task of creating a nationwide workforce of technicians dedicated to keeping EV charging stations running smoothly.
Terry, who previously worked in the EV charging software industry, witnessed firsthand the frustration of drivers encountering malfunctioning charging stations. The problem isn’t just an inconvenience; it represents a barrier to widespread EV adoption. Studies have shown that a significant portion of public EV chargers are broken, leading to mistrust in the infrastructure.
ChargerHelp! offers a solution by providing on-demand repair services. Technicians, many of whom come from backgrounds in oil and gas or other industries, are trained to address various issues, from mechanical problems to vandalism and even animal interference.
“Seeing people who may not have known about this space before get so invested in pushing forward EV adoption brings me so much joy,” says Terry.
The company currently operates in 17 states and aims to meet the growing demand for EV charging maintenance as the transition to electric vehicles accelerates. With the Biden-Harris administration setting ambitious goals for EV adoption, the need for reliable charging infrastructure is crucial.
“People need to be able to trust EV charging infrastructure,” says Terry. “The current mistrust, due to broken chargers, is a problem that can be solved.”
ChargerHelp! is leading the charge in ensuring the success of the EV revolution by bridging the gap between ambition and reality, ensuring that a smooth and reliable charging network becomes a reality for all.
