The recent rollbacks of vehicle emissions standards demonstrate that reducing transportation emissions is not an administrative priority. During the last year, the Trump administration has unlawfully frozen, and in some instances Congress has eliminated, federal clean transportation investments meant to spur electric vehicle (EV) domestic manufacturing and accelerate EV adoption.
This study evaluates how MHD vehicle electrification will affect average residential electricity rates in California (PG&E) and Georgia (Georgia Power) in 2028 and 2035.
Medium- and heavy-duty (MHD) trucks, in many ways, are perfect candidates for electrification. They consume more oil and emit more harmful pollutants than passenger cars, leaving significant room to maximize electric vehicles’ (EVs’) primary benefits: lower fuel cost and reduced emissions.
Although the United States has become the world’s largest oil producer, accounting for 15.8% of global production as of 2023, its continued reliance on oil to power transportation exposes the nation to persistent economic and national security vulnerabilities.
The latest Zeroing in on ZEBs report shows that zero-emission transit buses are a steadily expanding nationwide market.
The U.S. zero-emission truck (ZET) market continues to evolve, with this update capturing deployment activity — including purchases and leased vehicles — for cargo vans, medium-duty (MD) step vans, MD trucks, heavy-duty (HD) trucks, refuse trucks, and yard tractors as of June 2025.
Case studies highlight these solutions in action: tools, programs and offerings from utilities across the country, including Dominion Energy, Portland General Electric, National Grid, Southern California Edison, and Pacific Gas and Electric. The paper concludes with recommendations for how utilities, and the Public Utility Commissions (PUCs) that regulate them, can explore and implement these solutions in their own jurisdictions.
The publicly available document provides guidance on how to successfully publish grid capacity maps and helps utilities think through that decision and the ramifications of making certain choices in what is published and how. It also offers a valuable starting point for utilities that have not yet begun hosting capacity analysis, helping them understand the landscape, anticipate challenges, and plan strategically for future publications.
This research paper covers many angles of the nascent EV battery recycling industry including the market size and future projections, existing facilities, benefits and challenges, existing legislation, international comparisons and policy recommendations.
This paper highlights and explores some of the opportunities and barriers to transportation electrification, with a particular focus on accelerating MHDV electrification in the near term.
