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, Electric Freight Consortium, Port Electrification Network, Advanced Freight Partners Group Electrification Coalition Business Council, Electric Vehicle Adoption Leadership (EVAL) certification program, Drive EV Fleets Purchasing Collaborative, and the 25 Cities Initiative.

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.

  • 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
