The results are in: access to plug-in electric vehicle chargers at work has nearly doubled in the last 2 years. With the many benefits of workplace charging, it's easy to see why. Workplace charging enables both large and small organizations to attract and retain talented employees, reduce petroleum use and greenhouse gas emissions, and demonstrate innovation, leadership, and environmental stewardship.

To boost their programs and share their best practices with others, leading employers from across the country partner with the Energy Department through the EV Everywhere Workplace Charging Challenge. The Challenge aims to achieve a dramatic increase in the number of employers offering workplace charging by 2018. As the Challenge approaches its 2nd anniversary, Challenge partners and ambassadors convened at a summit in Alexandria, Virginia, to celebrate progress and share new resources for expanding their workplace charging programs.
