Abstract: This information would be used to measure the impact and progress of DOE's voluntary Workplace Charging Challenge (Challenge). The Challenge is an initiative through which DOE provides employers with specialized resources, expertise, and support to incorporate workplace charging programs into their operations successfully. The initiative is a part of the EV Everywhere Grand Challenge, which focuses on enabling U.S. vehicle manufacturers to be the first in the world to produce plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) that are as affordable and convenient for the average American family as today's gasoline-powered vehicles by 2022. As the EV Everywhere Grand Challenge is focused on both PEV research and development as well as deployment, it has been developed with input from sustainability professionals, industry representatives, and DOE's Clean Cities program staff coordinators. The information will help DOE develop an understanding of the volume of employees who have access to, and regularly use, workplace charging, which in turn will provide useful information for stakeholders invested in intelligently growing the EV market. The information also will be the foundation for future DOE program development. This activity is authorized under 42 U.S.C. Sec 13233; 42 U.S.C. Sec. 13252(a)-(b); 42 U.S.C. 13255.
