“As EV adoption increases, so does the demand for convenient public charging. EVgo believes it’s important to spotlight just how much collaboration, partnership and coordination goes into successfully deploying fast charging infrastructure,” said Cathy Zoi, CEO at EVgo. “Celebrating our ‘EV Charging Heroes’ helps recognize those that are leading the way and creating a template for other stakeholders in the EV charging ecosystem. These ‘EV Charging Heroes’ have more than a commitment to enabling EV adoption, they are walking the walk on getting EV charging infrastructure into the ground. We congratulate this year’s awardees and look forward to working together to accelerate fast charger deployment across the country.”

EVgo’s National EV Charging Recognition Program recognizes ‘EV Charging Heroes’ across the different sectors working alongside EV charging companies to get charging infrastructure in the ground including site hosts, utilities, local and state governments, engineers, contractors, and equipment manufacturers. Going forward, EVgo plans to publicize recognition criteria for each sector in advance of each program cycle, accept submissions through an open form, and distribute awards. The Company expects to share information on the second iteration of the program later this year.

EVgo’s Connect the Watts initiative unites hundreds of stakeholders who are vital to accelerating the deployment of reliable EV charging infrastructure across the U.S. With their input, Connect the Watts has produced best practices guides for utilities, local permitting, public funding, and the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program, all in service of helping organizations in the EV charging ecosystem streamline the process of charger deployment – from site identification, design, permitting, installation, to utility interconnection.
