Colorado Electric Vehicle (EV) Plan

The Colorado Energy Office (CEO) and the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) released the Colorado EV Plan 2023 (Plan), supporting the state’s long-term goal of electrifying 100% of light-duty vehicles (LDVs) and transitioning 100% of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles (MHDVs) to ZEVs by 2050. To meet these goals, the Plan recommends the following actions:

• Increase the number of light-duty EVs to 940,000 by 2030;
• Increase adoption of medium- and heavy-duty ZEVs to at least 30% of new sales by 2030;
• Work with utilities, private companies, site hosts, local governments, and others to increase the deployment of EV chargers and infrastructure across the state to meet 2030 LDV and MHDV ZEV goals;
• Encourage mode shift and electric mobility options where feasible;
• Engage community-based organizations and underserved communities in EV deployment planning; and

• Establish workforce development and training goals to support ZEV and related infrastructure deployment.
