Transportation and Climate Initiative Joins U.S. DOE’s Workplace Charging Challenge

The Transportation and Climate Initiative (TCI) has committed to working with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to support workplace charging and grow the plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) market. By signing on as an Ambassador to the EV Everywhere Workplace Charging Challenge, TCI will support and promote the deployment of workplace charging infrastructure by providing resources to states and the over 100 organizations that have signed TCI’s Pledge to Support Electric Vehicles in the Northeast.

Report Captures Best Practices in State Plug-In Electric Vehicle Programs

A report released by the Georgetown Climate Center captures best practices in state-sponsored plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) programs and lessons in PEV program development and implementation that may serve as models to other states.

Eight States Announce Sales of Electric Vehicles Have Surpassed 250,000

Representatives from states that signed the zero emission vehicle memorandum of understanding (ZEV MOU) announced that over 250,000 plug-in electric vehicles have been sold nationwide. The ZEV MOU signatories (California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont) gathered at the California Air Resources Board meeting in Diamond Bar, California, to announce this milestone and reaffirm their commitment to putting 3.3 million zero-emission vehicles on the road in their states by 2025.  Six of the eight ZEV MOU states - CT, MD, MA, NY, RI, and VT - participate in the Transportation and Climate Initiative (TCI) and its Northeast Electric Vehicle Network.

Northeast Electric Vehicle Network Partner Pledge

 

Support for electric vehicles in the northeast continues to grow, and states participating in the Northeast Electric Vehicle Network are forging ahead with preparations for the mass market arrival of plug-in cars and trucks and the economic and environmental benefits that these vehicles can deliver.

Lessons from Early Deployments of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

 

The goals of this study are to document real cases of electric vehicle charging infrastructure installations in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions and uncover some of the related challenges and opportunities.  Unlike earlier electric vehicle documents produced by the Transportation and Climate Initiative, the focus of this study is not on how installations should be done but rather on how they have been done.

Menu of Plug-In Electric Vehicle Incentives

The Transportation and Climate Initiative (TCI) has compiled this menu of incentives for states to use as a tool when researching ways to reduce barriers and promote electric vehicle use. Most states offer one or more incentives for consumers, businesses, or government entities to purchase and use plug‐in electric vehicles (PEV) or electric vehicle charging stations (also known as electric vehicle supply equipment, or EVSE).

Assessment of Current EVSE and EV Deployment

The deployment assessment provides a region-wide look at EV and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) deployment in the Northeast. The report highlights trends in EV ownership and EVSE locations, offers recommendations to maximize the impact of EVSE installations, and offers recommendations for further areas of study.

Creating EV-Ready Towns and Cities: A Guide to Planning and Policy Tools

This report provides guidance to practitioners at all levels of state and local governments wishing to take action to implement EVSE deployment in their jurisdictions. It provides discussion and guidance regarding the steps to create, administer, and amend planning processes, rules, and regulations, and explores the potential for jurisdictions to encourage EV charging station installation and use.

Electric Vehicle Information for Utilities

This document was released by the Northeast Electric Vehicle Network as one of a series of educational materials about electric vehicles and their use in the northeastern United States.  It is intended to provide information about electric vehicles to utilities in the region.
