The EV Project

 

The EV Project is the largest deployment of electric vehicles and charge infrastructure in history. Renewable energy company ECOtality was awarded two U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) grants totaling $114.8 million to administer the Project. With partner matches, the total value of The EV Project is now approximately $230 million.

ECOtality is deploying approximately 14,000 chargers in 18 major cities and metropolitan areas located in the District of Columbia and six states: Tennessee, California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona and Texas. Tennessee is the Project's largest overall geographic region with charging infrastructure being deployed in Chattanooga, Knoxville, Memphis and Nashville.

 

The primary goal of The EV Project is to collect, analyze and report on the use of electric vehicles and the infrastructure needed to support them. This information includes data regarding the energy used, along with time and duration of charger use. No personal information is shared or included in the analyzed data.
