Sponsored Non-profit
EV Chargers

We’re a nonprofit organization accelerating the adoption of plug-in vehicles

We do this through the proliferation of public, non-profit electric car chargers which are “adopted” by sponsors. These sponsors, corporations, organizations and individuals, donate funds used to install and maintain EV chargers in parks, museums, beaches and other widely visited public places.

Our Focus

Destination Charging

Most drivers associate Adopt a Charger with destination charging at iconic sites such as Yosemite, the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, the Getty Center, and other parks and museums. These locations draw visitors who travel long distances and stay for several hours—long enough to add meaningful range—while also providing high-visibility venues for showcasing plug-in vehicles.

Community Charging

Adopt a Charger excels at delivering community charging. We enable EV charging in small towns, remote rural areas, and emerging markets where awareness of electric vehicles is still limited and therefore essential. These regions often lack state incentives for EV adoption and frequently impose higher vehicle registration costs.

Multifamily Charging

With roughly 80% of charging occurring at home, on-site infrastructure is essential for attracting and retaining tenants, while also boosting property value. Implementation involves unique logistical challenges, including managing electrical capacity, allocating parking, and complying with building codes. To overcome these hurdles, property managers can leverage working with Adopt a Charger to access government incentives.
