As the U.S. undertakes the significant effort required to electrify our transportation system, it’s important to recognize and honor successful trailblazers in the industry: the companies and institutions that are moving now, demonstrating real commitment via innovative actions, partnerships, and proven results. Launched in September 2022, the National EV Charging Recognition Program celebrates leaders in deployment excellence on an annual basis.

Get to Know 10 Champions of EV Fast Charging
In 2021, the Biden Administration set a goal for the U.S. to deploy 500,000 electric vehicle (EV) chargers by 2030, which will require a collaborative effort from leaders across all sectors of the EV charging ecosystem to accelerate deployments. Over the last year, there were many organizations leading the charge via innovative actions, partnerships, and proven results who deserve recognition for their efforts toward widespread EV adoption.
