Number of Partner Workplaces Offering Electric Vehicle Charging More Than Tripled Since 2011

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Workplace Charging Challenge began in early 2013 and currently has about 150 businesses/universities/organizations that are partners in the Challenge. A survey of these partners in August 2014 showed that the availability of workplace electric vehicle (EV) charging increased to about 275 workplaces in 2014, a 345% growth from 2011. Of those partner companies responding to the survey, 80% provided the EV charging to the employees without any fees, another 15% had fees associated with the amount of charging, and 5% had a fixed fee.
