successfully deploying fast charging infrastructure,” said Cathy
Zoi, CEO at EVgo. “Celebrating our ‘EV Charging Heroes’ helps
recognize those that are leading the way and creating a template
for other stakeholders in the EV charging ecosystem. These ‘EV
Charging Heroes’ have more than a commitment to enabling EV
adoption, they are walking the walk on getting EV charging
infrastructure into the ground. We congratulate this year’s
awardees and look forward to working together to accelerate fast
charger deployment across the country.”
EVgo’s National EV Charging Recognition Program recognizes ‘EV
Charging Heroes’ across the different sectors working alongside EV
charging companies to get charging infrastructure in the ground
including site hosts, utilities, local and state governments,
engineers, contractors, and equipment manufacturers. Going forward,
EVgo plans to publicize recognition criteria for each sector in
advance of each program cycle, accept submissions through an open
form, and distribute awards. The Company expects to share
information on the second iteration of the program later this
year.
EVgo’s Connect the Watts initiative unites hundreds of
stakeholders who are vital to accelerating the deployment of
reliable EV charging infrastructure across the U.S. With their
input, Connect the Watts has produced best practices guides for
utilities, local permitting, public funding, and the National
Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program, all in
service of helping organizations in the EV charging ecosystem
streamline the process of charger deployment – from site
identification, design, permitting, installation, to utility
interconnection.
