About
ROC EV is an innovative, community-wide initiative aimed at achieving widespread deployment of plug-in EVs. By developing innovative public-private partnerships, a comprehensive EV ecosystem, and cultivating strong community involvement, ROC EV will promote and support widespread EV ownership for individuals, families, businesses, and commercial vehicle fleets throughout greater Rochester. The effort will demonstrate all of the social, economic, and health benefits communities can reap by increasing adoption of EVs.
ROC EV was launched in mid 2017 by the Electrification Coalition (EC) with support from the following principal partners: The City of Rochester, Greater Rochester Clean Cities, Energetics Incorporated, EV Charge Solutions, and New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). The EC oversaw the program’s operations from it’s launch through the end of 2018.
