Hello to all of our stakeholders, partners, and employees as well. This year has been exciting on many fronts, and we are amped to make a few announcements in the remaining weeks that tie closely to our mission.
As you all know by now, we are here to make it easy for anyone to choose zero-emission mobility and to work with industry to drive innovation forward. We are also here to support states, communities, and industry to build out the convenient, reliable charging network that makes electric and zero-emission mobility choices a top option in the marketplace.
Created by Congress, our office works with everyone, across the board, to ensure that our national charging network and the good-paying jobs it entails provide benefits to every community—rural, suburban, or urban.
We will continue to be your partner on this journey forward. ⚡️
