It’s been a whirlwind few weeks as TESCO Metering’s EVSE Product Manager, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. From coast to coast, I’ve been traveling alongside our Regional Sales Management team, meeting with clients, conducting product trainings, and attending industry-leading events, including the EV Charging Summit & Expo and the EEI Spring Transmission, Distribution, Metering & Mutual Assistance Conference. We’ve also spent meaningful time at Weights & Measures conferences, where regulatory conversations are heating up—and TESCO is proud to be leading the charge when it comes to EVSE testing and compliance.

The Roadmap to EVSE Growth Is Here—and It’s Electric

One of the biggest headlines in EV infrastructure came straight out of California, where it was recently announced that the state now has 48% more EV charging ports than gas nozzles. That’s a major milestone—and a clear signal that we’re not just imagining an electrified future; we’re living in it. California may be leading the pack, but it’s only the beginning. With public policy, private investment, and consumer demand aligning at unprecedented rates, the charging network is rapidly expanding across the U.S.

But scale without precision is risky business. That’s why accuracy and compliance in EVSE measurement are more critical than ever.

A National Standard Built on Trust

At many Weights & Measures conferences, TESCO’s EVSE test equipment is frequently cited as the standard for field testing and certification. Our reputation for accuracy and reliability is well earned—and continuously proven by the engineering excellence behind products like the PL4150 Power Load Emulator, a field-hardened unit capable of both AC and DC testing with repeatable accuracy and best-in-class precision.

Whether you’re a utility, site host, or manufacturer, the importance of a consistent and compliant test strategy can’t be overstated—especially with Handbook 44 requirements around the corner and the 2028 DC testing mandate on the horizon.

Made in America. Designed for Tomorrow.

In a time when tariffs and supply chain disruptions continue to shape manufacturing conversations, I’m proud to say that TESCO’s EVSE Test Equipment is designed, engineered, and manufactured right here in the U.S. This not only strengthens our domestic supply chain but also ensures our customers benefit from shorter lead times, greater transparency, and exceptional quality assurance.

While some companies scramble to keep up with policy shifts and trade complexities, we’re doubling down on innovation at home—investing in people, processes, and precision.

Beyond the Sale: Diamond-Level Support

What really sets us apart isn’t just our equipment, it’s our commitment to the people who use it. With TESCO’s best-in-class warranty program and Diamond Level Support, our customers get more than a product… They get a partner.

We don’t disappear after delivery—we stay engaged. From implementation to troubleshooting, calibration to certification, our team is with you every step of the way, ensuring you get the most from your investment and stay ahead of compliance.

What’s Next for the Industry?

The EVSE world continues to evolve quickly, and it’s not just about quantity—it’s about quality, accuracy, and interoperability. We’re seeing a rising interest in:

• Megawatt Charging Systems (MCS) for heavy-duty electric trucks and fleet operations, which demand ultra high-power delivery and precise validation protocols.
• Demand-side energy management, enabling smarter grid interaction and peak load balancing.
• Revenue-grade metering for EVSE, which will be essential for consumer trust and utility integration.
• Automated billing transactions, requiring seamless communication between vehicle, charger, and backend systems.
• Standardization of V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) communication protocols, unlocking new opportunities for grid stabilization and distributed energy participation.

Each of these advancements depends on dependable test solutions—and TESCO is ready to support this future with unmatched precision and product innovation.

Wrapping Up the Journey (For Now)

These past few weeks on the road have reaffirmed something I’ve always believed: the future of electric vehicle infrastructure isn’t just about chargers—it’s about trust, accuracy, and reliability. As the EVSE ecosystem expands, so too does the responsibility to ensure that every charge is measured fairly, accurately, and with consumer protection in mind.

At TESCO, we’re not just building test equipment, we’re building the future of trust in EV charging.

Let’s keep the conversation going. I’ll see you at the next stop.
