| Topic 1, Equitable Access to EV Charging | EVCAC is the only organization focused on equitable EV charging advocacy. We provide partnership development, communications, and technical expertise for equitable deployment of EV infrastructure, with a special focus on building codes and policies for multi-family housing (MFH) and workplace charging.
Founded in 2020, we have already made a significant impact. In California, we successfully pushed the state to increase EV charging code requirements for new MFH from essentially zero to 100% access , resulting in charging access for 50,000 new MFH households every year. (Harvard Progressive Policy Review: bit.ly/EVequityCA) We also introduced a technical solution resulting in the first code to ensure the same low-cost, regulated utility rates, resilience benefits, and inclusion in the burgeoning green economy of vehicle-to-grid (V2X) integration enjoyed by single-family residents.
To expand our success nationwide, EVCAC created the national EV Building Codes Toolkit (toolkit.chargingforall.org), which is now included in the Joint Office of Energy & Transportation’s white paper on Community Charging. We provide technical assistance to states (e.g. AZ, CA, CO, MN, NM, NY) and convene the national EV Codes Working Group to secure equitable EV provisions in the IECC and ASHRAE national model building codes. We also advise think tanks, nonprofits and cities on best practices for equitable EV charging policy.
EVCAC is a fiscally-sponsored non profit project of Acterra. |

For over four decades, ACEEE has led the charge in shaping a resilient, equitable, and sustainable energy future. Since our founding, ACEEE has helped lead major policy shifts that are cumulatively responsible for reducing U.S. energy consumption by nearly 30% and we have so much more to do.
ACEEE's Transportation Program seeks to foster innovative technologies, policies, and programs to reduce transportation-related energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. We advocate a balanced and equitable set of measures to improve vehicle fuel efficiency and enhance overall transportation system efficiency including stronger Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, federal and state incentives for green vehicles, and policies to encourage multimodal passenger travel.
Electric vehicles (EVs) provide a good example of our work. To make EVs accessible to everyone, including low-income households and marginalized communities, the program launched a working group in 2019. The group helps equity-minded utilities better understand how to engage stakeholders, site EV charging stations, increase EV adoption, and measure success of such efforts. |

| | itselectric is a Brooklyn-based electric vehicle (EV) charging station owner-operator (CSO), purpose-built for cities, with a mission to unlock access to clean vehicles for all urban drivers. Launched in 2021, itselectric was founded to solve an urgent challenge: no scalable charging solutions existed for the 70 million drivers across the U.S. who don’t have access to a private driveway or garage. If we want everyone to have access to electric mobility, we must provide drivers with convenient and affordable public charging options where they already park: the curb.
itselectric harnesses spare electrical capacity from nearby buildings to deploy low-footprint curbside Level-2 EV chargers. We create a behind-the-meter connection to property owners’ electrical panels to tap this excess capacity, thereby avoiding the barrier of grid limitations and the costly and time-consuming process of creating a new utility interconnection. Because of these significant savings, we take on the capital, installation, and operating costs ourselves, without requiring contributions from our municipal partners or our host properties -- and share 20% of the topline revenue with our property partners. Furthermore, we can afford to deploy in areas that don’t yet have high rates of EV ownership – where we know utilization will initially be low – thus breaking the chicken-or-the-egg cycle that is currently stifling EV adoption in urban areas.
Finally, our chargers are the first in North America to feature a bring-your-own charging cord configuration. Detachable cords not only streamline the charger’s profile; they reduce the maintenance required from damaged cords, which are the most commonly broken element of a public charger.
In our first two years of operations, we have achieved substantial traction, including publicly-sponsored deployments of six Level-2 chargers at the Brooklyn Army Terminal and Steiner Studios in New York City, as well as deployment at Newlab Detroit on the Michigan Central campus. The chargers produced for these installations were fabricated by Gyre9, a prototype manufacturer and EV charger production facility in Connecticut. Our chargers are powered by SWTCH software and accessible via the customer app.
Among other achievements, we recently won a $1.5 million grant from the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation to deploy 60 chargers in Justice40 communities in Alexandria, VA; Detroit, MI; Jersey City, NJ; and Los Angeles, CA. |

| Charging for Electric Micromobility | re:Charge is an independent provider of charging services to the electric micromobility industry.
As the use of micromobility expands and becomes increasingly electrified, many shared micromobility operators struggle with profitability due to the high cost of charging vehicles. In shared use systems, electrified fleets of bikes and scooters require frequent battery charging, a service that is currently performed by large teams of technicians and service vehicles. This is a costly process that creates profitability headwinds while also generating additional greenhouse gas emissions and traffic congestion, two problems micromobility was supposed to help solve. At the same time, private owners of electric micromobility vehicles lack access to publicly available charging infrastructure. As a result, charging is almost exclusively done in the home which creates friction that can discourage the use of more environmentally-friendly transportation options, and presents significant safety challenges.
To address these problems, re:Charge developed a universal wireless charging station designed as a shared resource for the electric micromobility industry. Using advanced wireless power transfer technology and intelligent power management software, our innovative design adapts to a range of vehicles and battery types ensuring a variety of shared electric micromobility operators can reap the operational and financial benefits of the re:Charge solution. The general public will also benefit from broader access to safe micromobility charging infrastructure outside the home as re:Charge stations are installed in apartment/office buildings, retail centers, schools and other popular destinations. |
