Kameale and Evette were recently invited by President Joe Biden to the signing of the Inflation Reduction Act in September 2022. In support of national climate initiatives in the past two years, ChargerHelp! has grown from two founders to a team of approximately 30 key full-time personnel. In partnership with LACI’s Workforce Development programs, ChargerHelp! delivers training to a new era of green-collar technicians hired from the City of Los Angeles to perform EV charger maintenance.

ChargerHelp! has grown to create their own nationally recognized workforce development program to re-skill adults displaced by changing energy markets or low economic conditions, into Certified EVSE (electric vehicle supply equipment) Technicians.
ChargerHelp! is located in LA City Council District 8.
