During the early stages of our electric vehicle rollout project, Lee generously offered his expertise to support decisions regarding charging infrastructure requirements and rollout strategy. Lee’s straightforward explanations of complex technical and physical concepts were easy to follow, and his willingness to engage with the specific challenges of our project meant his insights were directly applicable to our planning. Thanks to Lee’s input, I was able to move forward with greater confidence and technical grounding.
