Episode 1.04 On EV Infrastructure and Green Workforce Development with Kameale Terry

One of the biggest concerns I have heard from laypeople about the electric vehicle transition is about the availability of charging stations. Kameale Terry is helping to address that need with ChargerHelp! which boasts a specialized workforce of charging station maintenance professionals, able to troubleshoot non-working EV charging stations and get them back online. 

In doing so, Kameale is not only contributing to the electric vehicle revolution, she is developing the new green workforce - providing solid middle class jobs that advance clean energy and provide healthy, safe work environments with excellent stability for her team. 
 
I also loved talking to Kameale about collaborative ideation and making sure people are "in the room" with lived experience and expertise when decisions are made.
