A Reflection of Times Present and Past

We snapped the top picture out in the field where we are installing high-powered ABB electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. Isn’t it reminiscent of the iconic image below it, taken in 1932? That well-known photo of ironworkers atop a New York skyscraper was taken after the passage of the Emergency Relief and Construction Act, which was designed to put millions back to work during the Great Depression.

To us, both photos look like rows of birds perched on a wire—but with more colorful plumage and PPE in 2020. 😉

When future generations reflect on our nation’s EV charging infrastructure boom, what images will best represent our era? Images like this? What do you think?
