Are Electric Vehicles Really Better for the Climate? Yes. Here’s Why
Nicole Lepre2020-02-12T13:41:08-05:00Based on where EVs have been sold, driving the average EV produces global warming pollution equal to a gasoline vehicle that gets 88 miles per gallon (mpg) fuel economy.
Investment in Public EV Charging in the United States
Conner Smith2021-05-31T16:20:06-04:00This brief provides an overview of the historical and current state of government, private sector, and electric utility investment in publicly available charging infrastructure in the United States. With increasing funding available from both the electric utility and government sectors, charging service providers and related stakeholders have a significant, near-term opportunity to grow the public EV charging network in the United States and reduce the dependency on government subsidization over time.
Roadmap for Electric Transportation
Conner Smith2020-06-18T14:41:39-04:00This legislative kit includes policy guide providing legislators and their staff members an overview of electric vehicle issues and options. It also includes a review of model legislation and a fact sheet outlining the benefits of electric vehicle legislation and describes four areas where states can take action.
Planning for State Transportation Revenue in a Coming Era of Electric Vehicles
Nicole Lepre2020-02-25T13:19:58-05:00This document is intended to help states develop a comprehensive approach for addressing long-term transportation infrastructure needs that avoids dampening EV sales while simultaneously encouraging EV adoption through other programs and incentives.
Electric Cost Allocation for a New Era
Nicole Lepre2020-01-30T14:51:21-05:00The purpose of this manual is to provide a comprehensive reference on electric utility cost allocation for a wide range of practitioners, including utilities, intervenors, utility regulators and other policymakers.
Electrifying Transportation Reduces Greenhouse Gases and Improves Air Quality
Nicole Lepre2020-01-30T15:01:56-05:00Producing the electricity to power electric vehicles can generate emissions. But those emissions levels are far lower than the pollution emitted by conventional vehicles, and could be even lower as the electric power sector cleans up over next few decades, according to a new report issued today.
Reducing EV Charging Infrastructure Costs
Nicole Lepre2020-01-30T14:57:28-05:00RMI’s groundbreaking report Reducing EV Charging Infrastructure Costs finds that the electric vehicle (EV) charging industry needs to do what the solar industry did about a decade ago: streamline and de-bottleneck installation.
