Charging Smart

GPI is a lead partner of Charging Smart, a designation program that prepares and recognizes communities for electric vehicle readiness. The program is led by the Interstate Renewable Energy Council and is funded by the US Department of Energy’s Vehicle Technologies Office.

Charging Smart builds on GPI’s long history of providing cohort-based technical assistance to support and empower communities as they accelerate electric vehicle readiness. In the story map below, we illustrate how this work built the foundation for Charging Smart.

We invite you to explore and engage with the story map to learn how we brought the lessons from our work with over 150 communities across six states and four Native nations to the program design.
