WEST SMART EV
Empowering the
Intermountain
West to Live Electric
The primary goal of WestSmartEV@Scale is to bring together multi-state regional activities with a common public interest in executing a strategic, coordinated, phased deployment of EV programs and charging infrastructure that will break down barriers to and accelerate EV adoption.
The project provides for a unified, large-scale charging and vehicle data collection on all program activities, data analysis and processing, and reporting with public dissemination, which would not occur otherwise.
Communities both large and small, urban, and rural, will benefit from this project’s generation of aggressive adoption activities and lessons learn.
WHO IS WEST SMART?
The comprehensive and ambitious community partnership project includes more than 25 strategic partners spanning 7 states and addresses regional challenges in all five of the critical EV application focus areas including destination highways, underserved regions, urban mobility, freight and port electrification, and community and workplace charging.
CHARGING WESTWARD
The project provides coordinated efforts to electrify over 42,000 miles of regional interstate and state highway networks, and a commitment to continue funding regional expansion at scale based on best practices from the project through a 10-year program.
WHY IT MATTERS
The WestSmartEV@Scale project creates an enduring regional ecosystem across the Intermountain West to sustain accelerated growth in freight, business and consumer use of electric vehicles. And the benefits will be felt for generations.
IMAGINE CLEANER AIR
This is our airshed. Small, daily transportation choices make a huge impact on the air we breathe together. Electric vehicle purchasing and smart mobility options are changing the daily impact on our collective lungs.
