Efficiency Forward’s mission is to empower decisionmakers with reliable information and tools to reduce their energy consumption, and to support policies that decarbonize our economy, allow communities to thrive, support the environment, and facilitate economic success.
Through innovative initiatives like the DesignLights Consortium (DLC) and the Electric Vehicle Charging Accessibility Network (EVCAN), we work to achieve a sustainable and equitable future. The DLC envisions a net-zero world by enabling energy savings, decarbonization, and sustainability through quality lighting, controls, and integrated building systems, providing decision-makers with impartial data and resources to reduce energy use, carbon emissions, and light pollution. EVCAN complements this mission by accelerating the deployment of reliable and connected EV charging infrastructure across North America, engaging stakeholders and offering unbiased tools to promote widespread adoption. Through collaboration and a commitment to diversity, integrity and impact, we strive to create a cleaner, more sustainable future for all.
The Electric Vehicle Charging Accessibility Network (EVCAN) is an independent nonprofit that convenes energy innovation leaders and electric vehicle (EV) experts to tackle the most pressing challenges with EV charging installation and operation. EVCAN’s mission is to accelerate the adoption of reliable and connected electric vehicle charging across North America through collaboration with industry experts and stakeholder advocates to develop and provide access to impartial product information and resources.
Working with a consortium of key stakeholders, we are building clear guidance and qualifying solutions against technical requirements that aim to today’s overcome challenges in reliability with charging equipment and minimize their energy intensity. The input of our colleagues and stakeholders is paramount as we pursue opportunities for cooperation and comprehensive feedback and insights. We hope you’ll join us on this journey to make EV charging easy and accessible for all.
