The EMPOWER Workplace Charging Project

Supporting National EV Workplace Adoption Through Recognition and Resources.

Is your organization an EV charging champion?

Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, the EMPOWER project is looking for forward-thinking workplaces who are providing EV chargers for their employees.

For the organization we find most inspiring, we’ll produce and promote a short film that tells your EV charging success story. We’ll visit your office, meet you and your team, and share your story with the world. We’ll also take professional photos of your team and take out a full page ad in your local paper–all to celebrate you.

Whether or not you win, we’ll feature you on our website, promote you in social media, and send you a certificate to put up in your office.

Nominations accepted through December 31, 2024.
