The Colorado Energy Office ReCharge Colorado program works to advance the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and installation of charging infrastructure across the state.
ReCharge Colorado Coaches━known as ReCharge Coaches━provide coaching services for EVs and infrastructure development in every county in the state.
ReCharge Coaches help consumers, local governments, workplaces and multiunit housing developments identify monetary savings, grant opportunities and other advantages related to deploying EVs and charging infrastructure. ReCharge Coaches help build local stakeholder support for EV adoption and leverage these networks to drive EV sales and participation in available funding opportunities.
