Southeast Portal for Electric Transportation Opportunities

The "DRIVE Electric USA" project number one involves the shown 14 states and is providing fiscal assistance and guidance towards either building from scratch or strengthening current statewide "Drive Electric" initiatives in their states. In this webinar, the leaders from those initiatives will briefly describe their work on their initiatives. The presentations will be focused on their efforts across seven "Priority Areas" of electric vehicle (EV) adoption and barrier-busting work like building their statewide initiative, deepening their utility partnerships and working on incentives, assisting communities in creating EV charging plans, grassroots in-person education, engaging elected leaders about EVs, and building EV dealership relationships and programs. For the Southeast, this includes Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia (plus other states nationally).

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) will co-host a webinar with the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) with tips for transit agencies to work with public electric utilities as they transition to zero-emission vehicles. Attend to learn more about reviewing the physical infrastructure and power-supply required to charge multiple battery electric buses at a time, and ways to work out the most favorable rates. Registration is required.

This free webinar, hosted by the University of Georgia, will cover Georgia’s E-Mobility transition and focus on creating charging infrastructure and successful state, local and private partnerships.

Informational webinar #1 for Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) – Grid Resilience and Innovative Partnerships (GRIP) Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) Number: DE-FOA-0003195. Per the FOA, projects that support electric vehicle charging infrastructure, vehicle-to-grid technologies and capabilities, and electric vehicle are among technical approaches of interest and priority investments (among numerous topics).

Quarterly SETRI Meeting focused on regional transportation electrification updates. RSVP at SETRIUSA@gmail.com

Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Charge@Work is a nationwide workplace charging program designed to bring EV charging to the American workforce. Forth has also developed the Electric Vehicle Adoption Leadership (EVAL) certification program for workplaces to receive recognition for their efforts and accomplishments in providing charging and clean transportation options. This webinar will discuss opportunities and programs promoting workplace charging solutions.

This webinar hosted by Upper Coastal Plains Council of Governments and the NC Clean Energy Technology Center will focus on federal funding available to help fund resilience in Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Resilience. The webinar will use examples specific to Eastern North Carolina but others outside the region may still find them relevant and are welcome to participate.

The NC Clean Energy Technology Center is hosting an event to learn about electric, plug-in hybrid electric and hybrid electric vehicles from EV owners at the Wake Forest and NC State football game.
