Colorado’s EV Expansion
Colorado’s EV Expansion: What’s Next for the State’s Charging Network?
As electric vehicle adoption surges, Colorado’s EV growth is charging ahead in building one of the nation’s most advanced EV infrastructures.
With more drivers switching from gas-powered vehicles to electric cars, SUVs, and trucks, the state is investing heavily in a cleaner, smarter transportation network.
The goal? To prepare for nearly one million electric vehicles on Colorado roads by 2030 while cutting greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality across the state.
Building a Stronger EV Charging Network
Colorado’s strategy is clear: make EV ownership practical for everyone, from urban commuters to mountain travelers.
The DC Fast-Charging (DCFC) Plazas Program is creating large-scale charging hubs to serve not only electric cars but also electric buses, trucks, and fleet vehicles.
The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) funding initiative is fueling growth with $57 million allocated to build 34 key fast-charging sites across major corridors.
This guarantees reliable charging along I-70, I-25, and other major highways—ideal for long-distance drivers, logistics fleets, and public transit operators alike.
Meanwhile, community-based charging projects are expanding access in residential neighborhoods and business districts, helping Coloradans charge where they live, work, and shop.
Driving Investment and Incentives
Colorado is backing this clean-energy shift with strong financial support. A $21 million investment is adding 290 new fast-charging ports at 46 sites statewide, cutting charge times and boosting reliability.
Both federal and state EV incentives—including those under the Inflation Reduction Act—help homeowners and businesses offset the cost of EV charger installation.
For property developers and multifamily housing owners, the Charge Ahead Colorado program provides grants for Level 2 charging stations, giving tenants convenient overnight access to power their vehicles.

Technology and Sustainability: The Battery Revolution
As electric vehicles become mainstream, battery innovation continues to accelerate.
The latest lithium-ion batteries—featured in models like the Tesla Model 3, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and BMW i4—offer greater range, faster charging, and improved safety.
Manufacturers are also focusing on sustainability through battery recycling, reduced reliance on rare metals, and the development of solid-state batteries that deliver longer lifespan and higher efficiency.
These advancements not only enhance performance but also ensure that EV growth remains environmentally responsible from production to recycling.
Future-Proofing Colorado’s EV Infrastructure
Colorado’s EV Plan 2023 outlines an ambitious roadmap to make EV charging as accessible as gas stations once were. Key initiatives include:
- Expanding rural charging access to support electric cars, buses, and fleets.
- Partnering with automakers like Ford, Chevrolet, and Hyundai to install high-speed chargers at dealerships for models such as the Chevy Silverado EV, Rivian R1T, and Kia EV9.
- Increasing incentives for electric and hybrid fleet adoption across commercial and public transportation sectors.
With these efforts, drivers from Denver to Durango will have access to reliable, efficient charging wherever the road takes them.
