Advanced Mobility

Commitment to infrastructure  

Efficient charging infrastructure is a key driver for electric vehicle adoption, and Georgia is committed to expanding EV infrastructure across the state. Georgia-based EnviroSpark works across public and private sectors, making charging accessible to EV drivers nationwide. 

The Electric Highway Coalition is an initiative between six major energy companies, including Southern Company, to connect drivers to a seamless network of charging stations along major highways, ensuring Georgia’s businesses, communities, and technology are prepared for the future. 

Preparing for tomorrow 

Georgia is powering electric mobility technology through partnerships like The Ray Intelligent Highway. Eighteen miles along Interstate 85 serves as a real-world testing facility and proving ground for safe and renewable transportation technology, providing insights into freight mobility through a program that has expanded nationwide. 

Autonomous vehicle testing is underway in a variety of Georgia communities eager to advance mobility solutions. The City of Chamblee has partnered with Georgia Tech to identify how Shared Autonomous Vehicles (SAVs) could affect public transit usage. Gwinnett County and the City of Woodstock are both planning for how autonomous vehicles will affect streets and highways.  

Peachtree Corner’s Curiosity Labs is a living smart city laboratory with a 1.5-mile intelligent highway for autonomous vehicle testing. The publicly funded lab operates all-electric autonomous shuttles, e-scooters, a solar roadway in real-time and gathers data as the technology interacts with motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians. By working to gather and analyze how the technology performs day to day, Curiosity Labs’ engineers continue to connect Georgia to the future.  

Seamless supply chain 

Located in the heart of the Southeast, companies in Georgia benefit from proximity to major manufacturers and suppliers located in the state and surrounding area. Our integrated supply chains built with producers and recyclers reduce companies’ reliance on global networks while encouraging collaboration and growth. 

Focus on the future 

Georgia is partnering with neighboring states Alabama and Mississippi to advance the transportation network, through a cooperative known as MAGNET. The University of Georgia, the University of Alabama, and Mississippi State University, along with Georgia Power, Alabama Power, and Mississippi Power, are partnering to communicate across academia, industry, and government and identify how a collaborative advanced automotive manufacturing ecosystem will drive the entire region forward. 

Georgia’s proven record of investing early in resources, infrastructure, and workforce skills supports manufacturing’s future. In keeping with this tradition, the Georgia Electric Mobility and Innovation Alliance (EMIA) was created to expand the state’s electric mobility ecosystem and strengthen its role in electrification-related manufacturing and innovation. The alliance includes partners from the private and public sectors, government agencies, electric utilities, education institutions, nonprofits, and other stakeholders. Read more about EMIA’s goals.
