This analysis offers insights into key trends driving growth in this market, as well as opportunities to further accelerate this growth that can help inform policymakers, original equipment manufacturers, and fleet owners.
Whether it’s called peer pressure, social contagion, or the neighborhood effect, the phenomenon is clear: as social beings, humans have the ability to influence one another by their actions. In this report, Generation180 explores how peer influence is playing a key role in accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) across the United States.
Atlas Public Policy assessed the current and planned production capacity for class 4-8 heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles in the United States based on publicly available information from vehicle manufacturers and news sources. The report discusses manufacturers plans to increase manufacturing capacity for heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles through building new facilities, expanding existing facilities, and the recalibration of production at facilities that are capable of producing both internal combustion and zero-emission vehicles side-by-side.
This study explores the current landscape of school buses in New Jersey, estimates the economic and environmental impacts that come with full school bus electrification, and identifies the most crucial barriers to school bus electrification in the State, identifying specific pathways to address those issues and recommendations to make adoption feasible.
In an effort to identify processes for measuring, verifying, and evaluating charger reliability and performance, the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) convened an online Evaluating EV Charger Reliability and Performance Charrette on June 13, 2023. The charette was facilitated by Atlas Public Policy staff, and invited participants included a balanced representation of stakeholders from the EV charging industry, state and federal government agencies, including State Energy Offices and State Departments of Transportation, utilities, and consulting firms.
The guidance provides information and actionable recommendations that municipalities and other Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) can use to make local approval processes for siting and installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure clear, predictable, and equitable.
The EV Ready Checklist provides a comprehensive high-level overview of steps local jurisdictions can work on to prepare their community and government fleet for transportation electrification.
This help sheet provides tips for conducting community engagement to support electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure planning and deployment.
RMI’s paper, Measuring Gaps in Supply and Demand for EV Battery Materials in the United States, helps shed light on the state of today’s EVB supply chain and can inform investment and policy decisions; it can also clarify how much of the battery supply is expected to qualify for IRA incentives in the future by presenting a methodology for quantifying the gap between supply and demand of inputs and subcomponents along all major stages of the EVB supply chain.
Building on the earlier ANSI EVSP work, this roadmap seeks to describe the current and desired future standardization landscape that will support and facilitate EVs at scale. It identifies key safety, performance, and interoperability issues, notes relevant published and in-development standards, and makes recommendations to address gaps in codes and standards. This includes recommending pre-standardization research and development (R&D) where needed. It also includes identification of prioritized timeframes for when standardization work should occur and SDOs or other organizations that may be able to lead such work.
