Charging Smart EV-readiness Program - Join now

Cities can join the Charging Smart program and receive free technical assistance.

Local governments have a unique role to play in the deployment and expansion of electric vehicles (EVs). Minnesota cities interested in being at the forefront can join the Charging Smart program and receive free technical assistance.

Charging Smart is an EV-readiness program that helps cities establish policies, practices, and incentives to encourage efficient and equitable EV charger expansion. Cities take steps to achieve bronze, silver, or gold designation, receiving national recognition as an EV-friendly community.

Charging Smart is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and led by the Interstate Renewable Energy Council. For more information, visit the Charging Smart website.
