EZ Ride is the lead implementor in New Jersey for two national programs supporting EV adoption that is funded by the United States Department of Energy (USDOE) and jointly managed by FORTH Mobility in Seattle and CALSTAT in San Francisco:

1. Charge@Work: (https://chargeatwork.org/) Designed to help workplaces, employers, public officials, employees, and community leaders plan and implement workplace charging programs.
2. EVAL Certification: (https://www.evalcertification.org/) Recognizes employers making pledges to or installing workplace chargers, offering certification levels from Bronze to Platinum.

EZ Ride also aids organizations with fleets to develop fleet transition plans from Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) to battery-electric vehicles, a vital step for securing federal or state funding to support their transition efforts. The three offerings – Charge@Work, EVAL, and Fleet Transition plans have been bundled into the comprehensive “EV Accelerator program” under the EZ Ride umbrella.
