The NC PEV Taskforce was formed in 2011 as a group of key stakeholders from academia, industry, non-profit, and local and state governments. Now, more than 200 participating organizations are working to ensure the rapid and seamless integration of PEVs into North Carolina’s communities recognizing:

“With President Obama’s goal of one million PEVs on the road in the United States by 2015, commercial and consumer plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) will become increasingly more available in the next few years. As such, there needs to be an established infrastructure, with uniformity in practices and standards, to support PEVs nationwide.”
