The Building a National EV Charging Network project is jointly conducted by NASEO and the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO), supported by the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation. The project provides convening, analytical, and implementation support to states as they develop their Electric Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure Deployment Plans.

The Building a National EV Charging Network project supports multi-state collaboration on EV infrastructure planning and deployment through the following:
  • Establishes and convenes six regional working groups with representatives of State Departments of Transportation, State Energy Offices, and other state agencies such as State Environmental Agencies or Public Utility Commissions to coordinate EV infrastructure planning;
  • Enables State-Federal-Private sector coordination and collaboration on EV infrastructure buildout by engaging utilities and private industry to identify electric system and grid needs pertaining to EV charging;
  • Convenes in-person meetings with the State Departments of Transportation, State Energy Offices, and other key partners to facilitate peer exchange; and
  • Hosts a national conference of states, federal agencies, utilities, and private-sector partners to enable states to learn about EV infrastructure planning and deployment; collect input and guidance on EV program design; explore public-private partnership models; and elevate the concerns and priorities of utilities and private industry with the states and federal government.

If you have any questions, please contact Delaney Dixon (ddixon@naseo.org).

NASEO, in partnership with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, convenes EV leaders from State Energy Offices and State Departments of Transportation to share best practices and co-develop resources related to priority topics, including: 

  • Medium- and Heavy-Duty (M/HD) Charging
  • EVs and Grid Integration
  • Data and Reporting, and
  • Cybersecurity of EV Charging

More information is available on the EV States Clearinghouse. Topical Working Groups are open only to state staff. To join a working group, please contact Delaney Dixon (ddixon@naseo.org). 

  • NASEO, in partnership with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, convenes EV leaders from State Energy Offices and State Departments of Transportation on a regional basis to coordinate on EV infrastructure planning and implementation.
  • Regional EV Charging Infrastructure meetings are taking place in winter 2025-2026, including a Western meeting, a Northeast meeting, and a Southeast-Midwest meeting. These meetings are open to State and Territory Energy Offices and State Departments of Transportation. There are a limited number of spots available for NASEO affiliate and private sector partners. More information and registration can be found on NASEO's Events page. Please contact Delaney Dixon (ddixon@naseo.org) or Jessie Lund (jlund@naseo.org) with questions.

NASEO and AASHTO host an EV States Clearinghouse, which is a one-stop shop for state agencies to plan and implement EV infrastructure programs. The site is a repository for EV program documents from the states, such as model Request for Proposals (RFP), staffing and budgetary models, sample contracts, as well as current state-level EV roadmaps, EV infrastructure siting and assessment tools, and other resources. Membership is restricted to state agencies at this time.
