Detroit Voltage founder Deana Neely
When a southeast Michigander purchases an electric vehicle (EV), they turn to DTE for our EV charger programs – and one of the certified electricians we partner with to get the job done is Deana Neely, founder of electrical contracting firm Detroit Voltage.
Detroit Voltage is one of the independent businesses working with DTE. “Working with DTE has been a game-changer for us,” says Neely. “The consistent pipeline of opportunities has been like a light shining on our business. People trust DTE and know installations will be done correctly.”
DTE is investing more than $11 Billion in clean energy initiatives over the next 10 years. One of our key goals is to break down barriers to EV adoption through EV channel rebates to make home charging more affordable. Together with Detroit Voltage, we are powering Detroit and driving forward clean energy investments in the city, helping to reduce its carbon footprint and making it a greener place to live.
“This collaboration has enabled us to lead in installing EV charging stations and other green technology, making a tangible impact on our community by making clean energy accessible and affordable,” Neely says. By working with companies like Detroit Voltage, our collaboration goes beyond installing charging stations. As Detroit Voltage grows, it creates more job opportunities for local residents, boosting the local economy and creating good-paying jobs.
“When young Black women and men see me in this space, they know it’s possible for them, and it’s worth it,” says Neely. “It’s about breaking down doors and offering opportunities to those behind me. I want to let people know the possibilities are endless.” At DTE Energy, we are committed to fostering partnerships like the one with Detroit Voltage and delivering on our promise of a clean energy future for all of us.
