LET'S MAKE BUYING AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE THE NEW NORMAL
Join the Wisconsin Electric Vehicle (EV) Initiative to accelerate EV adoption by increasing consumer demand and dealerships’ supply and sale of EVs.

Moving EVs in Wisconsin FORWARD

As electric vehicles become more mainstream, there's still a lot to learn. Here in Wisconsin, less than one percent of all cars on the road are EVs. Drive Electric Wisconsin is here to change that. We want to help consumers get the information they need to make an informed decision in purchasing their next EV. 

Let's all work together to drive Wisconsin FORWARD.
