A lot of the best tradespeople I’ve met learned their craft through their service. The discipline, the tech, the field fixes under pressure, that’s the kind of skill that keeps America running. In the shop, on the road, and in the future we’re building together, thank you and Happy Veterans Day.

Mexico’s EV manufacturing boom is real.
Tesla’s Gigafactory in Nuevo León is just the start! BYD, Kia, and BMW are expanding south of the border too. North American supply chains are changing fast.

Some people enter the EV world through engineering degrees.
Others through maker spaces, YouTube tutorials, or changing tires.

Every time the economy stumbles, the trades tighten their gloves and go back to work.
Because someone still has to keep the lights on, the wheels turning, and the batteries charged. AI can't run conduit.

Every time I drop a video about EVs, I hope the words “I can do that” become real to someone.
That’s what my High Voltage Hustle is all about.
Watch the latest episode on YouTube and see what’s possible. Trades thrive in hard times.

In 2010, there were almost no women on EV design teams.
In 2025, women lead EV programs at Ford, GM, Rivian, and Lucid.
Representation is no longer a trend, it’s a standard.

When the markets swing and headlines scream, trades stay steady. AI can write code, but it can’t run conduit or torque a flange. Stocks rise and fall on hype, but hands-on skills build real value. You can’t crash what’s built with skill, sweat, and pride. #TradesMatter #EVRevolution

EV High Voltage Battery Technician… in high heels? Be serious.
This work is torque wrenches, gloves, and insulated tools not stilettos. Love seeing women represented in EVs, but let’s make it real.

Q: What should I look for in a used EV?
A: Check battery health, range, charging history, and above all service records. Look for remaining warranty and charger compatibility. Find the serial # on the battery and make sure it isn't refurbished.

Q: What’s the difference between horsepower and kilowatts?
A: Both measure power. 1 kilowatt = 1.34 horsepower. kW is used for EVs and electric systems, while horsepower is common for gas engines. They're just different units for how much work or energy an engine or motor can produce.

Is battery tech going to change? Absolutely. Think back to when the Energizer Bunny switched to rechargeable, big things were coming. Expect major leaps as diverse use cases drive fierce competition. Besides, liquid fuel is too heavy to take to Mars.

From the icy coast of Lake Erie to the mountain tops of Arizona. I love this land, and I love our Constitution. Real patriotism means fighting for freedom, for the American Dream, for everyone. Stay weird. Speak up. This land is yours and mine. Keep showing up. I see you.

Invest in a CAT III at 1000V multimeter if you’re working with EVs & CAT IV if you are going to service charging stations. Remember, electricity will kill you, kids! The higher the CAT, the higher amount of spike current you are protected from.
