When Kameale Terry founded ChargerHelp! in 2020, she wanted to ensure that mass EV adoption would continue. After all, her mother, who died of lung cancer, lived in an area with poor air quality.

Now her company is a part of the solution, servicing EV charging stations across more than 17 states. Terry is partnered with Tritium and other U.S. utilities, including Duke Energy and Southern California Edison, to service more than 10,000 stations.

“Mass EV adoption is really important to me. My mom passed away from lung cancer just about a year and a half ago, and I live in a community where we have very poor air quality. Getting folks to trust infrastructure, to drive electric, sits near and dear to my heart,” Terry told CNBC.

With electric vehicle adoption accelerating, as too has the need to service public charging stations. Unlike fixing an old gas pump, technology and special equipment is required to provide services and draw data from the stations to improve EV charging technology.

ChargerHelp! tracks information on station deployment and operation to increase reliability and develop more durable and reliable infrastructure.

A study from researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and Cool the Earth, an area non-profit, suggests more than a quarter of public EV charging stations were found to be non-functioning some time after installation, reported CNBC.

Network service providers, producers of EVs and charging stations, as well as governments can benefit from that data set, the company says.

Another supporter is Blue Bear Capital, which, along with Energy Impact Partners, JFF Ventures, Exelon Foundation, Autodesk Foundation, and the LA Cleantech Incubator, has helped the organization raise $21.75 million, a CNBC report reads.

“ChargeHelp! has data across communication networks, across charger type, across geographical location. All of these sort of components and issues and factors play into why or how a charging station isn’t working,” Vaughn Blake, general partner at Blue Bear Capital, told CNBC.

He added home EV charging repair could be the next market on which to capitalize, as the adoption of electric vehicles are expected to rise in the coming years.
