About Drive Electric Minnesota

Facilitated by the Great Plains Institute, Drive Electric Minnesota is a coalition of Minnesota’s electric vehicle (EV) champions, dedicated to encouraging the deployment of EVs and the establishment of EV charging infrastructure through public-private partnerships, financial incentives, education, technical support, and public policy.

Advancing EV deployment will benefit Minnesotans by reducing transportation costs, providing cleaner air, and offering energy independence.
