Charging Up
Norwalk Corpsmember Eric Magana checks measurements as he prepares to drill holes to secure an EV charging post at the Duarte library.
Two years ago, a quarter of new vehicle sales in California were zero-emission vehicles, also known as EVs or ZEVs.
With the state’s goal of all new vehicles solid being zero-emission by 2035, CCC Norwalk Corpsmembers are helping build the infrastructure needed for those vehicles to charge up.
At the City of Duarte Public Library in Los Angeles County, a small crew made quick work of setting up a dozen charging stations.

Norwalk Corpsmembers describe the process of installing new EV charging posts at the City of Duarte Public Library.
From sawing and drilling to leveling and wiring, the skills Corpsmembers pick up with the CCC can help lead them to careers in the greater green technology field.
Most importantly, their work means something to the community and the environment.

Learning As They Go
