Rural Appalachia Electric Vehicle (EV) Test Drive Program

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Rural Reimagined program provides free EVs for residents or local governments in the rural Appalachian region to test drive for two to six weeks. Additionally, Rural Reimagined provides Level 2 and direct current (DC) fast chargers at no cost to site hosts. Site hosts are responsible for installation costs. This program is only available in participating counties in Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. Additional terms and conditions apply and may vary by state.
