National EV Charging Recognition Program

As the U.S. undertakes the significant effort required to electrify our transportation system, it’s important to recognize and honor successful trailblazers in the industry: the companies and institutions that are moving now, demonstrating real commitment via innovative actions, partnerships, and proven results. Launched in September 2022, the National EV Charging Recognition Program celebrates leaders in deployment excellence on an annual basis, and we are excited to release the criteria for the 2nd annual EV Charging Heroes.
