I am very excited and humbled to announce that The @POTUS Administration has asked me to head up the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, working with @USDOT + @ENERGY and the @WhiteHouse to implement crucial elements of the BIL and electrify the transport/mobility system:

[Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation @DOECMEI]

As the 1st-ever Executive Director of the Joint Office of Energy & Transportation, @gabe_klein will oversee $7.5B in BIL funding to build a national electric vehicle charging network & other vehicle electrification programs across the @ENERGY & @USDOT https://t.co/48WkuTGBMM

[Beth Osborne @BethOsborneSGA]

Listen to me, @gabe_klein and @iduncan discuss why our roads are so dangerous.

@DavidSacks Good boy, obeying your masters: https://t.co/K3TOMMyy9k

@jeremypomp @DavidSacks I’m only here for the meltdown and resulting jokes :)

The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation held a webinar today which highlighted the progress and status of the NEVI (National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure) program.

As a reminder, that program includes the deployment of 500,000 chargers along each state's (plus DC & PR) highway corridors every ~50 miles to be completed by 2030.

@gabe_klein mentioned public charging ports (connectors) in the country have doubled since 2020 with over 200k available today.

He also said nearly 25k more federally funded ports are currently underway.

The first NEVI station was opened about a year ago and as of right now, about 240 NEVI ports are active across 14 states.

They also announced the launch of a new website which provides data and status updates on the NEVI funding and deployment for better transparency and visibility:

During the presentation, @PlugandplayEV also spoke and said based on his data the average turnaround time of 39 sites so far is 117 days.

It sounds like 2025 is going to see a ramp up of accelerated deployment of more NEVI stations even quicker than this past year.

Have you charged at a NEVI station yet? I'd love to hear your experience so far 🤓

“It’s not that I am trying to do social engineering around people using bikes, walking & transit. I am trying to undo the 60+ years of social engineering around the complete reliance on the automobile.” — well said @gabe_klein. #cardependency

[Gabe Klein @gabe_klein]

@j2_robert Also 100% not true Jumbo, if you care? They are all over the U.S. and the states decide how they want to proceed.

205686 to be exact! :)

[Secretary Pete Buttigieg @SecretaryPete]

There are now 200,000 publicly available EV charging ports in the U.S.—more than doubled since the start of the Biden-Harris Administration and well on track toward the President's goal of 500k by the end of the decade.

[Gabe Klein @gabe_klein]

It takes 2+ years to design, site, build+ a DCFC and a combo of fed/state incentives not just NEVI, there are 300 chargers built and 25k in motion. The states decide how fast they want to go not the feds. https://t.co/vuf5SErbVR

[Gabe Klein @gabe_klein]

Today, there are 205k public chargers w/ more than 38k new this year thanks to a combo of direct fed funding, fed tax incentives, state & local funding, and private investment. This is more than double the number of publicly-available chargers since 2021 (96k). $5 NEVI, $2.5B CFI

@ezraklein A better article where I explain a bit more in detail… for @politico

Big news! Changing the game:

[The Verge @verge]

A universal ‘Plug and Charge’ protocol for EV charging is coming in 2025 https://t.co/ugajsCYiWt

@mateosfo 💯

[Gabe Klein @gabe_klein]

@Aarondklein @BlinkCharging Will read your piece when I can, but again all Title 23 funded chargers have to allow payment at the charger vs a proprietary wallet, and for the energy used.

[Gabe Klein @gabe_klein]

I have given up tweeting but this is worth it:
$521 million from the Biden-Harris administration going to communities and states including tribal nations for charging today:

@Aarondklein @BlinkCharging Hi Aaron have not read your piece yet but $20 is less than 1/2 what it costs to fill up most ICE vehicles. All federally funded chargers have to allow payment at the charger for the transaction though anyway. We are also working on a totally interoperable national system.
