This partnership comes as the federal government prepares to
invest billions of dollars in EV charging through the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law, including $7.5 billion for highway and
community charging and billions more to electrify private and
government fleets.
“Through this collaboration, we are connecting our technical
experts with NECA’s network of thousands of electrical contractors,
who are key partners that ensure connected, software-enabled
charging solutions are installed proficiently in communities across
the country,” said Anthony Harrison, senior director of North
American policy for ChargePoint. “Together with NECA, ChargePoint
is ensuring electrical contractors have the technical expertise
needed to further accelerate deployment of EV charging
infrastructure and enable charging everywhere drivers live, work,
and play.”
“At NECA, a key value we provide is connecting our members with
the products and services that are leading our industry,” said NECA
CEO David Long. “The Industry Alliance Network opens new avenues to
deepen the conversation between these brands and NECA contractors.
It is NECA National’s goal to provide solutions with increased
access and attention within our industry.”
ChargePoint will provide the association’s members with the
necessary training and education on how to deploy EV charging
across the country. ChargePoint believes its partnership with NECA
will impact the electrical construction industry by leveraging
NECA’s network, digital marketing, social media, and communications
platform in order to expand EV charging infrastructure farther and
wider than ever before.
ChargePoint joins NECA’s 18 Ambassadors and nine Affiliates.
More companies are expected to join the program in the second
quarter of the year. For more on the NECA IAN, visit
