Charge Up Your Workplace

EV Charging Solutions for Businesses

Helping workplaces lower barriers for EV adoption.

Drive Clean Colorado is committed to ensuring the benefits of electrification are distributed equitably. Through our new Workplace Charging Initiative, called Watts@Work (W@W), we aim to help workplaces in Colorado lower the barriers to electric vehicle adoption by increasing the number of employers currently offering workplace charging to their employees. 

Workplace charging is a great benefit to employers and employees.

It increases employee retention, promotes electric vehicle adoption and clean air, and attracts new customers. 

No matter where you are in the evaluation or implementation process (including having already installed chargers), Drive Clean Colorado can provide you with benefits along the way, including: 

FREE technical assistance

Coaching and support for various grants and incentives, including the Charge Ahead Colorado grant, which provides funding assistance for public Level 2 or DC fast charging

Promoting your workplace’s accomplishments

Hosting EV workshops and ride & drives for your employees

Help setting up your own employee EV club and other EV awareness activities

Watts@Work in Action

 In this section, you’ll find stories from our W@W partners as they make strides in clean transportation through ribbon cuttings, workshops, training sessions, and other impactful events.

Stay tuned for the latest updates as we highlight the inspiring work our partners are doing to make workplace charging accessible and support a sustainable future for all!
