EV 101: A Georgia Guide for Public Charger Success helps local governments, particularly in rural and small-town communities, plan and install public electric vehicle (EV) chargers.
Created by the University of Georgia’s Carl Vinson Institute of Government as part of the Plug into Georgia initiative, the guide outlines key considerations such as EV charging levels, infrastructure costs, and community ownership models. It provides a step-by-step approach to expanding EV accessibility and fostering sustainable transportation.
A case study on Buena Vista highlights how the small Georgia town successfully installed DC Fast Chargers through strategic partnerships and persistence. By following the guide’s best practices, communities can boost local economies and improve mobility options.
