“With the Inflation Reduction Act recently signed into law, the
development of a nationwide EV charging network has more momentum
than ever. EVgo recognizes that turning this momentum into results
will require key players throughout the charging ecosystem to rise
to the occasion,” said Cathy Zoi, CEO of EVgo. “Through the Connect
the Watts National EV Charging Recognition Program, we look forward
to making sure these heroes and trailblazers are celebrated for
their important work in enabling an all-electric future.”
The new program will recognize ‘EV Charging Heroes’ across the
different sectors that work alongside EV charging companies to
develop charging infrastructure, including site hosts, utilities,
local and state governments, engineers, contractors, and equipment
vendors. EVgo will share the objective criteria for each sector and
annually award all who achieve. The National EV Charging
Recognition Program is the latest expansion to Connect the Watts™,
an EVgo initiative focused on bringing the EV charging
infrastructure community together to identify best practices and
accelerate fast charger deployment.
Since its inception, the Connect the Watts initiative has
brought together stakeholders who are critical to providing drivers
convenient and reliable EV charging across the U.S. Following the
first two ecosystem-wide meetings in 2021, the initiative received
participation from more than 200 stakeholders involved in the
electrification of transportation and developed four EV charging
implementation guides with best practices for utilities, local
permitting, public funding, and the National Electric Vehicle
Infrastructure (NEVI) program. All EV Charging Heroes will be
recognized with a digital certificate to share with their networks
and a trophy to acknowledge their accomplishments.
