What is the social or environmental issue being addressed?
Bullet EV is assisting in the country’s transition from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles. One of the most substantial obstacles to EV adoption is the country’s alarming lack of EV infrastructure. From one-off home installations to large-scale infrastructure projects, Bullet EV is providing the skilled labor necessary to accelerate EV adoption. Bullet EV is building its labor force by recruiting and training electricians to specialize in green technologies such EV charger installation and maintenance, as well as the installation of solar panels and battery storage.
Innovation:
Bullet EV is providing the “picks and shovels” of the EV revolution. By recruiting and retraining electricians to specialize in green technologies, the company is addressing the country’s acute shortage of electricians and installers required to build EV charging infrastructure. Bullet EV also installs solar panels and battery storage. The company recognizes that EV charging will put additional strain on the country’s overburdened electrical grid, and that solar and battery storage will become a critical part of a smooth adoption of electric vehicles. Bullet EV is an advocate of “microgrids”, whereby business or homeowners can generate the power they consume.
