EV Charging Infrastructure Map Highlights North America’s Expanding Electrical Landscape

William Attardi on August 4, 2026

As electric vehicle adoption continues to expand, the charging infrastructure behind it is becoming an increasingly important part of the electrical industry’s workload. From utility upgrades and service equipment to branch circuits, load management, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance, electrical contractors, engineers, and facility managers are playing a central role in deploying and supporting EV charging systems. Public charging networks also continue to grow across North America, with new stations and higher-powered DC fast chargers coming online regularly to meet increasing demand. The following resource, originally published by Vehicle Service Pros, provides a reference map of more than 120,000 EV charging stations throughout North America. It can serve as a useful planning tool for electrical professionals involved in EV infrastructure projects, helping identify existing charging locations, regional deployment trends, and opportunities for future installations.

EV Adoption Accelerates In New Regions, Expanding Opportunities For Electrical Contractors

William Attardi on June 16, 2026

Electric vehicle adoption continues to gain momentum across the United States, but the latest data shows that the market is no longer driven solely by traditional EV strongholds on the West Coast. According to a recent analysis from StorageCafe, western states still dominate overall EV readiness and ownership, yet emerging markets in the South and Midwest are rapidly closing the gap. For electrical contractors, the findings highlight a continuing expansion of opportunities beyond established EV markets. As adoption spreads into new regions, demand is increasing for residential Level 2 charger installations, commercial charging projects, fleet electrification infrastructure, and utility upgrades.  EV Adoption Accelerates in New Regions, Expanding Opportunities for Electrical Contractors | EC&M

The Distributor Is the Heartbeat of Construction Sales by Jim Nowakowski

William Attardi on March 27, 2026

Manufacturers know what they produce. Engineers know what they specify. Contractors know what they install. But distributors sit at the intersection of all three. The distributors see which products move through their warehouses. They hear the questions contractors ask at the counter. They learn which installations go smoothly and which ones create problems. They understand pricing pressures, availability constraints and the subtle preferences that shape contractor behavior. The Distributor Is the Heartbeat of Construction Sales | Electrical Wholesaling

Interesting: The Three Pillars of Independence of an Organization

The 3 Pillars of Independence most commonly refers to a framework from the UK voluntary sector (specifically promoted by organizations like Bond and the Directory of Social Change). It is a toolkit for assessing and maintaining the independence of charities, NGOs, or civil society organizations.

The Three Pillars are:

  1. Independent of Party Politics – The organization (or regulator) must remain free from bias or influence by any political party or the government of the day. Decisions should be impartial, not favoring one political side.
  2. Independent of Populism – It should not be swayed by popular public opinion, media-driven campaigns, or transient public pressure, especially on controversial or unpopular causes.
  3. Independent of the Press – Freedom from media influence or pressure, ensuring decisions are based on evidence and law rather than headlines or public narratives.

This toolkit was created to monitor potential political encroachment on charitable regulation and to ensure charities can operate without undue external interference.
