These stations are the
backbone of the electrification
future. But if they don't work
properly, EV adoption will slow.
Fortunately, SAE, ChargerHelp!,
and Detroit at Work have
partnered up to train electric
vehicle supply equipment
(EVSE) technicians. In February,
the joint venture graduated its
first class of techs.
This event marks the first of
many that SAE and ChargerHelp!
hope will become the norm as
certification rolls out nationwide.
The graduating class completed
the four- to six-week program,
which included 120 hours of
coursework, and will soon take a
standardized test administered
by SAE ITC Probitas. The exam
launches this month.
The industry-verified
certification was created via a
partnership with leading EV
charging equipment providers-
the companies that actually build
the world's charging stations.
Those who complete the
coursework and take the exam to
become an EVSE technician will
have the knowledge to maintain
the charging stations installed
around the country.
The National Renewable
Energy Lab recently estimated
that to meet the charging needs

of 2030, about 1.2 million charging units will need to
be available to the public.
That's 1.2 million pieces of hardware requiring
maintenance from a trained workforce that currently
does not exist.
Meanwhile, the J.D. Power 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle
Experience (EVX) Public Charging Study showed that
" 20% of all users say they visited a charger but did not
charge their vehicle. " That's far below the required
97% uptime required for funding to charging
providers from the Inflation Reduction Act.
With more charging stations on the way and an
uptime goal that far exceeds what EV drivers are
currently experiencing out in the world, the EVSE
Technician Certification is more important than ever.
At the inaugural graduation event in Detroit, Frank
Menchaca, president of SAE Sustainable Mobility
Solutions, told those in attendance, " We have a
responsibility to leave a better world to the
generations that are coming up. Those are the
generations that also have to have skills and
