ChargerHelp! is a technology company founded in 2020 that builds the EMPWR platform, a mobile app-based Reliability as a Service (RaaS) model for on-demand maintenance and troubleshooting of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.[1][2][3][6] It serves EV charging network operators, site hosts, fleet operators, and partners like Shell Recharge, Rivian, Tesla, Blink Charging, SPATCO, and Epic Charging by enabling local technicians to resolve software, communication, and non-electrical issues in hours rather than weeks, reducing downtime from an industry average of 15 days.[1][3][4][6] The company solves the critical problem of unreliable EV chargers—a major barrier to EV adoption—while driving workforce development in the green economy, creating equitable jobs for underrepresented communities through rapid training and deployment.[1][2][4][5] With over $21M raised, it has serviced more than 10,000 chargers across 17 states, gathering data from 18,000+ repairs to enable predictive maintenance and remote fixes.[4][5]
ChargerHelp! was co-founded in 2020 by Kameale Terry (CEO), who identified the problem while working at an EV charging software company—noticing stations appeared online but failed due to non-electrical software issues that electricians couldn't address—and Evette Ellis.[4] Terry and Ellis launched the company to focus on operations, maintenance, and workforce development for the EV sector, emphasizing quality jobs without years of technical training.[1][4][7] Early traction came quickly: the app launched with technicians in the field, securing contracts with major EVSE networks, and expanding to data-driven insights from thousands of repairs.[1][4]
ChargerHelp! rides the EV infrastructure boom, where charger downtime hinders adoption amid exponential growth in stations needed for the green economy transition.[1][3][5] Timing is ideal with federal policies, utility investments, and mandates for high uptime in new contracts, amplified by market forces like rising EV sales and infrastructure bills.[1][4][7] It influences the ecosystem by standardizing maintenance practices, partnering with policymakers/utilities for equity-focused programs, and enabling networks to meet SLAs—removing reliability roadblocks to make EV charging as dependable as gas stations.[1][3][4][6][7]
ChargerHelp! is poised to dominate EV O&M as charger deployments surge, expanding EMPWR integrations, workforce partnerships, and data-driven predictions to support millions of stations.[3][5][6] Trends like AI-enhanced diagnostics, fleet electrification, and equitable green jobs will propel growth, potentially evolving it into a full-stack infrastructure enabler influencing policy and scaling globally.[1][4][7] From solving downtime for early networks, it now turbocharges the EV revolution, ensuring chargers work reliably to unlock mass adoption.[5][8]
