Workplace Charging Barriers Study

This report presents a comprehensive analysis of the barriers to workplace charging adoption for electric vehicles (EVs). It outlines the increasing state policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly focusing on the electrification of the transport sector. The study identifies the limited availability of charging infrastructure as a significant barrier to EV adoption and emphasizes the role of workplace charging in addressing this issue. The report details the methodology, including a literature review and stakeholder interviews, to uncover various technical, economic, and achievable barriers. Key findings include challenges such as lack of building ownership, ongoing costs, supply chain issues, and a lack of awareness regarding incentives. Additionally, the report offers a range of recommendations to mitigate these barriers, such as streamlining the permitting process, enhancing workforce training, and promoting private partnerships. The findings aim to support the transition to EVs by improving access to charging infrastructure in workplace settings.
