Urban and Regional Planners
Urban and regional planners plan and implement infrastructure upgrades to promote EV usage and determine how many charging stations are necessary to support a given number of vehicles and where to situate them to reach the greatest number of citizens.
Electrical Power-Line Installers and Repairers
Electrical power-line installers and repairers install and maintain the power grid—the network of power lines that move electricity from generating plants to customers. Electrical power-line installers install new lines that are capable of handling this increased electricity load required by EVs. In addition, many local governments are adding public charging stations that must be fed by new power lines. These installers place the new lines and connect them to the grid.
Electricians
Electricians install charging stations and any other equipment needed for electric vehicles. When there is a problem with the charger, electricians are called to make necessary repairs.
Deployment Specialists
Deployment specialists responsible for operationalizing and catalyzing the critical factors associated with development, installation and construction of EV charging infrastructure.
