Electrification Coalition

Our Story

Our Story

Electrifying transportation for our economic and national security.

The Electrification Coalition is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that works to accelerate the widespread adoption of light-, medium-, and heavy-duty electric vehicles to overcome the economic, public health, and national security challenges that have long stemmed from America’s dependence on oil. Our efforts focus on policy development, advocacy campaigns, consumer education, fleet and freight electrification, cultivation of bipartisan support, charging infrastructure planning, EV supply chain development, and coalition building.

We electrify the way we move through initiatives like the State EV Policy Accelerator, Port Electrification Network, Advanced Freight Partners Group, Electrification Coalition Business Council, and the Drive EV Fleets Purchasing Collaborative.

Electrification Drives Economic Progress

  • The auto industry is critical to U.S. manufacturing and economic strength. It employs 10 million Americans, contributes $1 trillion to our economy annually, and drives 5% of U.S. GDP.
  • EVs are the fastest-growing portion of the global auto industry. Investment in domestic EV production is essential to ensuring U.S. competitiveness in the global auto market, creating jobs, and reducing our reliance on oil and mineral supply chains.
  • Thanks to bold policy action, the U.S. has already attracted hundreds of billions in EV manufacturing investments and installed over 200,000 charging ports, generating nearly a quarter million new jobs, revitalizing our automotive manufacturing base in the Midwest, and creating a new, thriving “Battery Belt” in the Southeast.
     

The Electrification Coalition is working to maintain this momentum and ensure that the future of transportation is American-built for American prosperity.

National, State, and Local Action to Create Impact

  • National action: We advocate for and support the implementation of critical federal policies that impact the broader EV market.
  • State action: We provide unparalleled support and policy recommendations to states through governors’ offices, state agencies, and legislators.
  • Local action: We support cities and rural areas in infrastructure development and fleet procurement to scale transportation electrification.

Where We Work

The Electrification Coalition works at the federal, state, and local levels across the United States. The map below shows the geographic scope of our activities as of early 2026—click through the tabs to learn more about our various programs and their impacts.

The EC works to create a policy environment in which the EV market can thrive through active engagement with legislators, regulators, and leading industry voices in key states. Our non-partisan perspective allows our team to build trust with prominent decision makers and expand often politicized discussions about EVs to include their economic and national security benefits. Priority states are selected based on the existing EV market and opportunities to advance meaningful policies in the short-term. Learn more about our state policy work.

The EC led State Fleet Electrification (SFE) Cohort brings together state agencies from across the country to accelerate the electrification of public fleets. Through regular discussions, expert briefings, and peer learning, participating states gain practical insights on fleet transition planning, charging infrastructure deployment, and effective use of federal funding programs. Learn more about the State Fleet Electrification Cohort.

The EC is actively engaged with hundreds of cities across the country, providing guidance and technical support as they work to increase EV deployment within municipal fleets and expand charging access for their residents. We focus on building local capacity and helping cities navigate the entire process of EV adoption, from planning and procurement to deployment and education. In our priority cities (shown in orange) we work with local legislators to develop and implement long-term strategies and policies to support local EV adoption. Supported cities (shown in green) are engaged with on a project-to-project basis. Explore our local policy resources. 

How We Work

  • Develop innovative, replicable, and scalable programs
  • Form and activate strong, trusted, and meaningful coalitions
  • Create and pass supportive policy
  • Expand access to EVs and charging for cars, trucks, and buses
  • Provide technical support and resources to communities, fleets, and advocates
