Helping a major automobile manufacturer secure funding for the construction of electric vehicle charging stations

Challenge

Action

Message focused on how a nationwide charging network would encourage consumer confidence in and accelerate the uptake of electric vehicles by making it convenient in every part of the country, and how it helped further the Administration’s goal to transition both consumers and the federal fleet to zero-emission vehicles.

Results

As part of the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act, Roberti Global was able to secure $7.5 billion in state-administered grants for building a public network of 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations over the next decade.
