Clean Cities Coalition

A US Department of Energy program to “support the nation’s energy and economic security by building partnerships to advance affordable domestic transportation fuels, energy efficient mobility systems, and other fuel-saving technologies and practices.” By 2018, coalition activities prevented 5 million carbon dioxide-equivalent tons by securing hundreds of millions in funding to complete hundreds of EV infrastructure projects across the US.

Workplace Charging Challenge

A U.S. Department of Energy program with the goal of partnering with 500 employers committed to providing their employees with access to charging. By 2016, more than 600 workplaces had installed over 5,500 charging stations accessible to nearly one million employees. In addition to direct partners, more than 200 other employers also began to offer charging, suggesting that the Challenge was a catalyst for the growth of workplace charging even beyond direct participants.
