Message from the Executive Director
In this edition of our newsletter, read about our recent accomplishments, including the next round of CFI awards and nearly doubling our national EV charging network. In just the past month, we’ve expanded our public EV charging infrastructure playbook, welcomed new employees across the country, and started publishing the EV minute to show progress in EV sales and adoption. I’m thrilled with this progress and happy to have so many new EV drivers along for the ride.
