In 2025, we were proud to partner with communities across Minnesota and Massachusetts to recharge and educate their community members on the future of electrification and transportation.
Take a look at our 2025 Annual Report to see how we engaged in exciting experiences and how our Recognition Program participants championed innovation throughout the year.
Organizations across the country are taking steps to integrate advanced energy technologies into their practices, be it in using electric vehicles to power fleets to creating community power using local microgrids. Too often that work is invisible to and unseen by the community members it aims to serve.
Recharge America celebrates that work through annual state-level recognition programs and supports participants with a range of technical assistance, all delivered at no cost thanks to the support we receive from our program funders.

Annual symposia in select states facilitate Recharge Participants learning from each other and sharing best practices in their energy transition.
Participants with shared interests collaborate in working groups to tackle major topics.
Beginning in 2024, we’re implementing quarterly working groups to tackle major topics in collaborative cohorts.
Accessing the advantages of new electric technologies requires collective effort from each of us—individually, as households, organizations, and communities. When diverse groups collaborate to develop and implement practical clean energy plans tailored to their needs, remarkable outcomes emerge.
We have witnessed this phenomenon consistently, and we are excited about the prospect of collaborating with you to assist your community in realizing its vision for a locally-driven clean energy future.
For more than ten years, we’ve supported tens of thousands of individuals across various communities throughout the country in discovering the potential of new electric technologies.
Whether it’s through electric vehicles, solar panels on roofs, or clean appliances at home or work, we’ve been there to showcase the possibilities.
Our approach is grounded in data and evidence, ensuring that our community events are informative and impactful. We strive to empower attendees with the knowledge to make choices that best suit their specific needs. We’re excited about the opportunity to bring our expertise to your community.
To find out where we’ve been and where we’re headed next, take a look at our Events calendar!
We’re here to assist with all aspects of community involvement required to introduce new clean electricity options to your community, such as:
The US faces labor shortages in skilled trades in the coming decades. According to figures from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, we will need tens of thousands of additional electricians to meet the growing demands from the EV transition. We confront similar shortages for HVAC technicians and other construction trades (carpenters, plumbers, etc.).
Training programs, upskilling workers, encouraging vocational training as a viable path for students, and hiring programs with employers will all be required to address these shortages.
These good-paying jobs create opportunities for non-traditional students and in communities that are at risk of being left behind in the electrification transformation.
