Survey Says: Workplace (Battery Electric Vehicle) Charging is Growing in Popularity and Impact

November 18, 2014 - 3:54pm
[font size=3]The results are in: plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging access at work has nearly doubled in the last two years! With the many benefits of workplace charging, It’s easy to see why. Workplace charging enables both large and small organizations to attract and retain talented employees, reduce petroleum use and greenhouse gas emissions, and demonstrate innovation, leadership, and environmental stewardship.
To boost their programs and share their best practices with others, leading employers from across the country partner with the U.S. Department of Energy through the EV Everywhere Workplace Charging Challenge. The Challenge aims to achieve a dramatic increase in the number of employers offering workplace charging by 2018. As the Challenge approaches its second anniversary, Challenge partners and ambassadors convened at a Summit in Alexandria, Virginia, to celebrate progress and share new resources for expanding their workplace charging programs.
Starting with 13 founding partners in January 2013, the Challenge has since grown to 150 partners. Currently, Challenge partners are providing access to PEV charging stations for more than 600,000 employees at more than 300 worksites all across the country.
Through a survey in August 2014, these leaders shared how their efforts are making an impact in their communities and helped identify best practices for workplace charging. At the Summit, the Energy Department released the Workplace Charging Challenge Progress Update, which highlights key findings from the survey.
