Being involved with Drive Clean Colorado has helped me to meet other individuals who work in the same industry and grow my professional network. DCC puts out a great mix of online and in person learning opportunities to participate locally. If EV charging was easy, everyone would be doing it. Overcoming the industry challenges and having access to a wealth of knowledge around local/state incentive programs is helpful for me to utilize in order to drive sales with our customers.
