Chaveirim of Central Jersey held a training session this week for their members on the safe use of electric vehicle chargers, as the organization looks to keep pace with the growing number of EVs on the road.

With the number of electric vehicles rising, Chaveirim volunteers are increasingly being called upon to assist motorists with charging-related issues, especially during the summer months, with air conditioning running constantly, car batteries have been dying more frequently.

The training was designed to ensure volunteers can respond safely and effectively to these calls. Topics covered included proper handling of charging equipment, recognizing potential electrical hazards, and how to safely connect and disconnect vehicles from chargers.
