• Alternative Fuels Data Center’s Incentive Page

  Find federal and state laws and incentives for alternative fuels and vehicles, air quality, fuel efficiency, and other transportation-related topics.

• Electric Drive Transportation Association

  The Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA) is the trade association promoting battery, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fuel cell electric drive technologies and infrastructure. EDTA conducts public policy advocacy, provides education and awareness, industry networking, and conferences.

• Electric Vehicle Association

  The Electric Vehicle Association (formerly the Electric Auto Association) is North America’s leading volunteer organization that accelerates the adoption of electric vehicles by supporting its 100 chapters and thousands of members as they educate their communities about the benefits of driving electric.

• Electrification Coalition

  The Electrification Coalition is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that develops and implements a broad set of strategies to facilitate the widespread adoption of electric vehicles to overcome the economic, public health, and national security challenges that stem from America’s dependence on oil. Our strategies include policy development, advocacy campaigns, consumer education, fleet electrification, cultivation of bipartisan support, support for charging infrastructure planning, EV supply chain development, and coalition building.

  We’re working to electrify the way we move through projects and programs like the Electric Freight Consortium, American Cities Climate Challenge, State EV Policy Accelerator, Electrification Coalition Business Council, and Climate Mayors EV Purchasing Collaborative.

• Energy Wise MN

  Energy Wise MN proudly helps members of electric cooperatives across Minnesota and Western Wisconsin save energy and use electricity wisely at home and work.

• EV Hype

  An interactive map of EV charging station locations across the US and Canada.

• EV World

  EV World commenced publication officially on January 1, 1998. Our objective — then as now — is to provide a human face to the topic of sustainable transportation with a focus on the people and policy, as well product.

  In the intervening two decades plus, EV World has interviewed hundreds of guests, published literally more than 30,000 articles and news releases, and literally reached millions of readers, listeners and viewers every year. In our small way, we trust that we helped contribute to the now steady electric vehicle revolution that is taking place in the transition away from fossil fuels and the internal combustion engine to cleaner, quieter, super-efficient and just plain more fun to drive electric vehicles of all shapes and sizes, from land-based to seaborne to airborne and even the odd Lunar and Martian rover.

• Go Electric Drive

  GoElectricDrive (GoElectricDrive.org and GoElectricDrive.com) was established by the Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA) in 2012 to promote consumer awareness and education about electric transportation. Accelerate the Good is trademarked by the Electric Drive Transportation Association for use in our consumer education and other electrification efforts.

• National Electric Highway Coalition

  The National Electric Highway Coalition (NEHC) is a collaboration among electric companies that are committed to providing electric vehicle (EV) fast charging stations that will allow the public to drive EVs with confidence along major U.S. travel corridors by the end of 2023. The NEHC is the largest such alliance of electric companies that have organized around the common goal of deploying EV fast charging infrastructure to support the growing number of EVs and to help ensure that the transition to EVs is seamless for drivers.

  To date, EEI’s member companies have invested more than $4 billion in customer programs and projects to deploy charging infrastructure and to accelerate electric transportation. As EV sales continue to grow, EEI estimates that we will need 140,000 EV fast charging ports, a more than ten-fold increase over today, to support the more than 26 million EVs projected to be on U.S. roads in 2030.

• Plug-in Cars

  PlugShare is a free EV driver’s app for iOS, Android, and web, allowing users to find charging stations, leave reviews, and connect with other plug-in vehicle owners. It has the most accurate and complete public charging map worldwide, with stations from every major network in North America, Europe, and throughout much of the globe.

  PlugShare is also home to the largest community of EV drivers in the world. Every day, drivers add more station locations, constantly making the app more comprehensive, powerful and accurate. From within the app, users check-in when they charge, sharing tips, comments, and photos of their charging experiences.

  Thousands of drivers also list their personal home charging stations for public use on PlugShare, helping to fill the gaps in the charging infrastructure. These drivers have complete control over the times and terms of their station’s availability, how other members can contact them, and what personal information is displayed.

• Veloz - Electric For All

  Veloz is a visionary nonprofit focused on accelerating the electric car movement through public awareness and education. Veloz works to fully realize the environmental and public health benefits of electric transportation and steer away from fossil fuels. Veloz powers the electric car movement with an innovative, compelling public message–“Electric For All”.
