Con J. Franke Electric is a company that is making waves in the commercial electrical industry, specifically in the area of infrastructure preservation and upgrading. This is evident in the $4.1 million commercial electric project that the company is in the final stages of at the Alameda Water Dam and Fish Passage in Alameda, CA.

Electric vehicles (EVs) are quickly becoming a viable option for drivers looking to save money, reduce emissions and protect the environment. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), half of all Americans could be driving EVs by 2030. And with more than 18 million Americans already owning EVs, that number is expected to rise significantly in years to come. This means there will be an increased demand for charging stations across our nation—and an ongoing stream of work for electricians who specialize in this niche industry.

The electrical industry is experiencing a major shift, with more and more people switching to digital devices. While this can cause some challenges for electricians who may not be as comfortable working with technology, it also creates an opportunity for those who have the right skills.
