New York is investing heavily in EV charging, grid upgrades, and clean-energy infrastructure, but Richard Sajiun argues that funding and technology alone cannot deliver the state’s electrification goals. The CEO and master electrician of Sajiun Electric highlights a growing workforce gap as experienced electricians retire faster than new workers enter the trade. He believes mentorship, hands-on training, and early investment in the next generation of electricians will be essential to building New York’s electrified future.
