North Carolina EV Policy

The Electrification Coalition conducts policy work in North Carolina to advance the deployment and adoption of electric vehicles and development of charging infrastructure.

North Carolina Policy Landscape

North Carolina has taken important steps toward an electrified transportation future, with actions by the state government, local governments, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector, including utilities and EV-related companies.

Learn more about the policies, strategies, and partners can help North Carolina accelerate electrification in our North Carolina EV Policy Landscape. This document reflects input from a wide range of on-the-ground stakeholders and builds upon the insights of previous roadmaps and guidance documents, including those developed by the EC. It reviews transportation’s current impacts to public health, safety, and the economy, and it identifies a set of high-impact areas of engagement.

North Carolina Medium- and Heavy-Duty Sign-on letter

In 2021, a group of 28 business leaders signed on to a letter urging Governor Roy Cooper to accelerate the transition to electric medium- and heavy-duty (MHD) vehicles to protect North Carolina’s economy, energy security, public health, and climate. 

The letter endorses the following actions:

  • Support incentives, utility investments and state targets that will accelerate the electrification of trucks that travel along our highways and through our neighborhoods to deliver goods to our homes and businesses.
  • Convene an MHD electrification working group that includes North Carolina’s largest commercial fleets.
  • Electrify public transit and school buses to provide clean, healthy ways for North Carolina’s residents to travel to and from school, work, and home.
  • Invest in the development of MHD charging infrastructure to ensure that North Carolina does not miss out on the economic opportunities afforded by the electrification of transportation.
