Plug-In Electric Vehicle Handbook for Workplace Charging Hosts

Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) have immense potential for increasing the country’s energy, economic, and environmental security, and they will play a key role in the future of United States transportation. A full transition to electric-drive vehicles (including all-electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and hybrid electric vehicles) could reduce U.S. dependence on imported petroleum by more than 80% and greenhouse gas emissions by more than 60%. By providing PEV charging at the workplace, employers are perfectly positioned to contribute to and benefit from the electrification of transportation. This handbook answers basic questions about PEVs and charging equipment, helps assess whether organizations should offer workplace charging for employees, and outlines important steps for implementation.
