Workplace Charging Toolkit

This Workplace Charging Toolkit contains documents that will be helpful for understanding the basics of workplace charging (WPC), employee engagement, implementation, and case studies of successful efforts to enact workplace charging. Figuring out how to provide WPC as a benefit to your employees is important to us. That's why we are working with the EMPOWER program, an outreach and education project that Louisiana Clean Fuels is committed to coaching you through based on what is best for your workplace!

Workplace Charging at Port NOLA 

Port of NOLA has been ahead of the curve, integrating electric vehicles into their fleet for over ten years. The first workplace charging was installed in 2015 for fleet vehicles. Their fleet has used Nissan Leafs, Chevy Bolts, and after market F150 PHEVs. In 2022 they installed four Level 2 Shine EV charger ports exclusively for their staff in their parking lot, allowing employees and fleet vehicles to charge while at the office. As you can see from the photo, it worked! 

Port NOLA also took another step and received an Electric Vehicle Adoption Leadership (EVAL) Silver award/certification for their administration building, which is a newer certification for electric vehicle charging at work.
