ABOUT
Who we are
Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, EMPOWER is accelerating the adoption of workplace charging across the country. It’s also the first and only equity-focused nationwide project of its kind.
We guide forward-thinking employers through the complex process of installing chargers, and recognize them for providing this life-changing perk to their employees.
Project Goals
Engage over 2,000 workplaces nationwide
Secure pledges from over 650 workplaces committed to increasing access to EVs for their employees
Catalyze the installation of over 3,500 charging ports nationwide and direct over 40% of project benefits to workplaces located in, or employing members of, historically disinvested and pollution-overburdened communities
Data Dashboard
Our detailed, interactive data dashboard, developed in partnership with the Center for Sustainable Energy, features hundreds of workplaces who have installed workplace charging or have pledged to improve access to EVs for their employees. It features regularly updated data about project workplaces and installed ports, including information on which workplaces are in energy and environmental justice (EEJ) communities.
