Deployment of Hybrid and Plug-In Electric Vehicles
Through deployment and demonstration activities to commercialize electric drive vehicles, many stakeholders are improving technologies for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), all-electric vehicles (EVs), and electric charging infrastructure.

Guide to Lessons Learned
This guide synthesizes findings from the 16 electric vehicle community readiness projects.
The U.S. Department of Energy funded 16 electric vehicle projects in 24 states and the District of Columbia to help communities prepare for plug-in electric vehicles and charging infrastructure.
Resources for Electrical Contractors and Inspectors

Permit Template
Use this template to develop a standard permit for residential charging stations that allows for quick, safe installation of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE).
Deploying electric charging equipment requires cooperation from retailers, municipalities, installers, and consumers. Electrical contractors and inspectors can learn about safety, technical, and consumer issues before installing charging equipment by watching the EVSE Residential Charging Installation video on the Clean Cities YouTube channel. This training helps electrical contractors and inspector prepare homes for safe and reliable vehicle charging.
Clean Cities Project Awards
The U.S. Department of Energy funded multiple electrification projects through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to accelerate the deployment of electric drive vehicles and charging equipment. These included Clean Cities electric drive projects and transportation electrification projects.
