Electric Vehicles and Equity

June 6, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Can electric vehicles play a role in advancing equity in underserved and historically marginalized communities? A new blog series by Clean Energy Group explores this question in four parts. The series begins with an overview of electric vehicle costs, performance characteristics, and environmental and health impacts, then considers possible pathways for electric vehicles to deliver tangible benefits to communities, including electric school buses and harnessing energy stored in electric vehicle batteries to power critical services in an emergency. It concludes with a discussion of some of the challenges limiting equitable adoption of electric vehicles and potential solutions to help overcome them. Learn more and register to attend here.
