What happens to our EV infrastructure amid political change? Despite the current administration's rollback of EV incentives, electric vehicles aren't going anywhere – this isn't a temporary trend that will disappear. The momentum behind EVs remains strong, built on a foundation of global market trends and manufacturing investments already made. Consumer demand for cleaner transportation transcends any single administration's policies, ensuring that our greener, more efficient future continues to advance. Elecvulum is here to answer any questions and support you in future-proofing your business.

Recently we shared the loss of Robert "Bob" Hobbs, owner of Hobbs and Company, Inc., which grew from his father's small maintenance company into an electrical contracting business now celebrating 85 years of excellence. We are saddened by his loss and honored by his extraordinary legacy of service as a husband, father, friend and mentor. Family and friends can share memories of Bob on his tribute page here: https://lnkd.in/ganWnErA #HobbsandCo

In Memoriam: Bob Hobbs With profound sadness and deep respect, I write to honor the memory of Bob Hobbs, a leader who transformed Hobbs & Co from humble beginnings into the dynamic enterprise it is today. Having been mentored by Bob for many years, I witnessed firsthand his unwavering dedication to excellence and innovation. Bob took the reins of Hobbs Electric, founded by his parents Thomas and Althea, in 1969. Under his leadership, what began as a small maintenance operation evolved into Hobbs & Company, a name that became synonymous with quality and reliability in the electrical industry throughout the greater Philadelphia region. His forward-thinking approach and commitment to growth laid the groundwork for our company's continued success. I'll never forget Bob's mentorship during my early years at the company. His door was always open, and his guidance was instrumental in shaping not just my career, but the careers of countless others who passed through our doors. He had a remarkable ability to see potential in people and projects alike, nurturing both with equal care and attention. What truly set Bob apart was his understanding that a company is more than just its bottom line. He fostered a family-oriented culture that continues to define Hobbs & Company today. His legacy lives on in our core values and the strong relationships we maintain with our clients and employees. The electrical world is rapidly changing, but the foundation Bob built remains rock-solid. His vision of excellence, integrity, and innovation continues to light our path forward. While we mourn his passing, we also celebrate a life well-lived and a legacy that will endure for generations to come. I know he loved this photo, in fact it was one of the few of him that I saw at his house. To all family, friends and colleagues, I’ll think of Bob (pictured top right, above the Philly dugout in a tan coat) as a gentleman – on and off the field.  Rest in peace, Bob. 

The shift is undeniable – EV charging infrastructure has moved from a specialty add-on to a core component of commercial electrical work. As bids increasingly require EV charging capabilities, contractors who aren't prepared for this transition risk falling behind in 2024 and beyond.

The electric vehicle adoption is accelerating rapidly, with public EV stations potentially outnumbering gas stations by 2032.
