TAMPA, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 7, 2024 / The Electric Vehicle Adoption Leadership (EVAL) program, in collaboration with Best Workplaces for Commuters (BWC), is excited to present a series of webinars spotlighting national leaders who have successfully implemented workplace charging solutions. The series aims to inform and engage a wide range of stakeholders, including policymakers, businesses, universities, and the general public, about the latest advancements and best practices in EV workplace charging.

Presenting organizations include Clean Communities of Central New York, Hingham Municipal Lighting Plant, EVNoire, Revision Energy, Plug In America, Hi-Tech Electric Company, Urban Efficiency Group, Tacoma Power, Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), Atom Power, and EZ Ride.

The series kicks off on Thursday, August 22, and will continue every Thursday through September 19. Each webinar lasts one hour, starting at 3:00 p.m. ET, and will be hosted on the Zoom platform. These webinars are free to attend, but registration is required at Best Workplaces for Commuters - Events.

One of the webinar speakers, Barry Carr with Clean Communities of Central New York, explained, "We enjoy access to Workplace Charging at the Syracuse Center of Excellence and believe that expanding opportunities at commercial buildings will speed the switch to clean transportation." The Clean Communities of Central New York (Syracuse) works with vehicle fleets, fuel providers, community leaders, and other stakeholders to identify community-driven choices that save energy and promote the use of alternative fuels and advanced vehicle technologies in transportation.

Forth, together with their partnering agencies, leads the EVAL program. "We're excited to see employers across the U.S. leading the charge in sustainable transportation by implementing workplace charging programs. These initiatives, which include incentives for EV use, micro-mobility options, public transit, and carpooling, are critical in reducing our carbon footprint," said Aleksandra Evert, Program Manager at Forth.

"Providing electric vehicle charging stations at workplaces demonstrates a genuine commitment to meeting employees' needs, particularly for those who drive electric vehicles," said Julie Bond, Program Manager for Best Workplaces for Commuters. "As more people switch to electric vehicles for their commute, there is likely to be a greater awareness of other sustainable transportation options."

Why EV Charging at Workplaces? It is estimated there will be 26 million EVs in the United States by 2030 that will need 1.3 million workplace chargers for employees without access to charging at home or public charging infrastructure. Workplaces are ideal sites and critical solutions to building reliable charging infrastructure that accelerates transportation electrification to support the nation's net-zero emission goals.
