NEHC Marks First Anniversary
NEHC Marks First Anniversary

December 2022
December 7 marked the first anniversary of the National Electric Highway Coalition (NEHC), a collaboration among more than 60 electric companies with the goal of providing electric vehicle (EV) fast charging stations that will allow the public to drive EVs with confidence along major U.S. travel corridors by the end of 2023. According to EEI, 12.9 million EV charging ports, including 140,000 EV fast charging ports, will be needed to support the projected 26.4 million EVs that will be on U.S. roads in 2030.
The NEHC has made significant progress on closing the gaps in charging networks across the country. Since its inception, NEHC members have supported more than 2,200 EV fast charging ports through investment, incentives, or other programs. While some of this progress is the result of work that began in the years before the coalition was formed, NEHC members supported more than 300 additional EV fast charging ports in just the second half of 2022. This achievement is a continuation of electric companies’ many years of work to provide EV fast charging to support the evolving needs of customers and to make the transition to driving an EV seamless.
