The Electrification Coalition is a nonpartisan, non-profit organisation working to accelerate the adoption of light-, medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicles in the United States. Its stated aim is to reduce the economic, public-health and national-security consequences of the country's dependence on oil. The organisation operates at national, state and local levels and cultivates bipartisan support for its approach, with an emphasis on protecting American jobs.
Its work spans electric vehicle policy development, EV charging infrastructure planning, fleet and freight electrification, port electrification, supply-chain development, consumer education, advocacy campaigns and coalition building. The group maintains several named initiatives: the State EV Policy Accelerator, which focuses on state-level policy development and implementation; the Port Electrification Network, supporting the electrification of port operations and related infrastructure; the Advanced Freight Partners Group, which addresses medium- and heavy-duty vehicle electrification; the Electrification Coalition Business Council, engaging private-sector partners; and the Drive EV Fleets Purchasing Collaborative, which supports fleet purchasing of electric vehicles.
The organisation's work touches transportation, electric vehicles, freight and logistics, ports and maritime activity, fleet management, public policy and the automotive supply chain. Its stated rationale for electrification rests on three outcomes: economic, public health and national security.
