The Company also shared the recent achievement of International Organization for Standardization (“ISO”) certifications at the facility.
"The need for accessible, reliable fast EV chargers has never been greater, as demonstrated by our record production in December, and recently announced record backlog and sales.

The 250+ jobs included in this announcement will add to the more than 500 jobs over the next five years in Lebanon, Tennessee that the Company announced in February 2022.
Demonstrating its commitment to creating high-quality jobs, Tritium is a participant in the White House Infrastructure Talent Pipeline Challenge, a nationwide initiative to create equitable job opportunities in growing industries, such as electrification. Tritium’s employee-focused programs include an apprenticeship partnership with the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development and the Tennessee College of Applied Technologies.
