Achieving mass adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), which is critically important to meeting greenhouse gas reduction goals, requires extensive growth in EV charging infrastructure — including adding chargers where people work. In fact, people who work at companies offering charging are six times more likely to drive an EV.
