Experts from Flo supported SAE International, the world's leading authority in mobility standards development, on building its new Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Technician Certification program.

Flo's Senior Network Operations Manager, Benoit Lemieux-Lepage, provided insight and recommendations to ensure the program's curriculum was comprehensive and requirements were first-rate.

"As more and more EV charging stations are deployed, the industry will see an increasing need for technicians to help keep them operational," said Lemieux-Lepage. "This training and certification program will help build a new generation of qualified technicians and play a direct role in ensuring EV drivers have reliable charging experiences."

The certification program will provide education and skills for technicians who maintain, repair, and operate EV charging stations. The Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Technician Certification will be granted to technicians who have successfully completed a comprehensive training program and passed a rigorous exam administered by SAE ITC Probitas Authentication.
