Building EV-ready Communities to Accelerate Adoption
May 13th 10AM to 11AM PST
Discover strategies, programs, and partnerships to expand EV charging access for all.
This webinar will explore key strategies, programs, and partnerships that support the expansion of EV charging access in both urban and rural areas. We will examine best practices for promoting workplace charging and expanding charging infrastructure in multifamily housing. Additionally, we will spotlight Charging Smart, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)--funded program that provides guidance on EV and EV charger education for commercial property owners.
Our speakers will share effective outreach strategies to raise awareness about available charging resources, rebates, and incentives—helping communities better understand the programs that make EVs more accessible.
