Drivers are fed up with government inaction on EV charging infrastructure. This is a major roadblock holding back the mass adoption of EVs, which are crucial to fighting climate change and improving air quality in our towns and cities. That is why are launching our Global ChargeUpNow Initiative.

Together, we want to give a clear and direct message to national and local policymakers about the urgent need for a universal, affordable and sustainable EV charging infrastructure. The solutions already exist – all that is missing is action from policymakers.

ChargeUpNow’s five policy recommendations are: 

• Implement a network of publicly available fast charging stations to reduce the speed of charging from hours to minutes and reduce burden on urban charging spaces
• Remove red tape and make it easier to obtain permits for private charging stations near residences and offices
• Include charging infrastructure in all newly constructed residential and commercial buildings
• Increase use of green energy by EVs through smart charging solutions that use zero-emission solar and wind power
• Develop public-private partnerships between business and local governments to facilitate fast charging infrastructure in commercial zones

Our intention is 1000 supporters.
