The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation

What The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation does

The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation is a U.S. federal inter-agency office jointly operated by the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Department of Transportation (DOT), established to coordinate the expansion of electric vehicle charging infrastructure and alternative transportation options across the United States. It does not sell commercial products; instead, it provides technical assistance, funding guidance, standards development, workforce development resources, and policy coordination free of charge to eligible government, industry, and community stakeholders. Its service portfolio includes Standards & Reliability, Technical Assistance, Utility Programs, Cybersecurity, Data & Analytics, Workforce Development, and Funding Programs, supplemented by publications such as the EV Infrastructure Playbook, the Freight Corridor Strategy, and the Community Charging Emerging Practices document.

The office serves a diversified stakeholder base spanning Industry, Riders, States, Communities, Tribal Nations, School Districts, and Transit Agencies. It operates as the central coordinating node between DOE and DOT, with operational linkages to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC), and FuelEconomy.gov. Distribution is conducted through its official .gov website (driveelectric.gov), a toll-free contact line (833-600-2751), LinkedIn and YouTube channels, newsletters, webinars, events, and conferences. There is no commercial pricing model, no product sales, and no traditional revenue stream; resourcing is provided through federal appropriations, and reported operational scale is measured in infrastructure outcomes — 256,800 public EV charging ports nationwide (more than double the 2020 baseline), 322,000 charging sessions at federally funded ports, and 36 publications supporting alternative fuel and EV charging infrastructure advancement.

Partnerships

Seven partnerships are on record, tiered core and major.

• U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerThe Joint Office of Energy and Transportation is co-led by the Department of Energy. DOE provides expertise in energy infrastructure, research capabilities, and program administration for EV charging and alternative fuel initiatives. The Joint Office serves as the coordinating body between DOE and DOT.
• U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerThe Joint Office is co-led by the Department of Transportation. DOT contributes transportation policy expertise, federal highway administration resources, and transit agency relationships. The Joint Office serves as the coordinating body between DOE and DOT.
• Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerFHWA is a key partner under the DOT umbrella, responsible for federal highway programs and funding mechanisms that support EV charging infrastructure deployment along national highway systems.
• Federal Transit Administration (FTA)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerFTA is a key partner supporting transit agency electrification efforts and providing resources for transit agencies seeking EV infrastructure planning and funding guidance through the Joint Office.
• Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerEPA partners with the Joint Office on environmental regulatory matters related to EV charging infrastructure and alternative fuel vehicle programs.

Direct peers

• Federal Highway Administration (FHWA): Manages federal highway programs and the NEVI Formula Program funding corridor EV charging. FHWA is a primary federal partner channeling capital the Joint Office helps deploy, with overlapping program design responsibilities.
• U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Runs the Clean School Bus Program and related heavy-duty electrification funding. EPA and the Joint Office both convene federal capital with state and local deployers for school bus and freight electrification, with partially overlapping mandates.
• Federal Transit Administration (FTA): Administers federal funding for transit bus and fleet electrification. FTA and the Joint Office jointly support transit agencies on vehicle and charging infrastructure planning, making them functional peers in transit-side EV deployment.
• Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC): DOE-run national clearinghouse for alternative fuel and EV charging data. AFDC shares the Joint Office's mandate of providing data, standards guidance, and technical information to deployers and consumers, and is directly integrated into the Joint Office's resource stack.

Broad incumbents

• U.S. Department of Energy (DOE): Parent co-lead of the Joint Office. DOE shares jurisdiction over EV infrastructure programs and research (e.g., AFDC, Vehicle Technologies Office), making it the closest institutional analog as a federal convener of energy and EV initiatives.
• U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT): Other co-lead of the Joint Office. DOT oversees federal highway and surface transportation policy, providing overlapping authorities on EV corridor deployment, transit, and safety that the Joint Office coordinates with but does not control.

Emerging players

• National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL): DOE national lab producing EV charging research, data, and modeling. NREL's analytical and data outputs (e.g., AFDC datasets, charging studies) overlap materially with the Joint Office's Data & Analytics and Standards programs.
• Joint Office of Energy and Transportation — international counterparts (e.g., UK Office for Zero Emission Vehicles, ZEMO): Foreign government bodies performing analogous federal coordinating roles for EV charging deployment, standards, and funding. They are structural peers operating under different jurisdictions and policy regimes, useful as cross-country comparison points.

Regional players

• NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority): State-level EV infrastructure funding, technical assistance, and program design body. NYSERDA performs a state-scaled version of the Joint Office's coordination, funding guidance, and stakeholder support role.
• California Energy Commission: Operates California's statewide EV charging grant and reliability programs (e.g., CALeVIP). As a state-level coordinator analogous to the Joint Office at the federal level, it is the most mature sub-national functional peer in the U.S. EV infrastructure landscape.
