Instructor: Matthew Akers

I am currently the Electrical Superintendent for Envirospark Energy Solutions, (a company that only installs EV chargers and supporting infrastructure). I have been doing EV chargers and supporting infrastructure for 2 years. I install everything from level 2 charging stations to the largest L3 DC fast chargers.  Some of the brands include Chargepoint, ABB, Eaton, Zerova, Blink, EVbox, Enphase, Volta, and Loop. In addition to installation, we provide Electrical and some network support.  I love what I do because the field is changing every day and it is great to be on the leading edge.
