California has required transportation network companies (TNCs) to achieve progressively higher percentages of electric vehicle (EV) miles traveled, aiming for full electrification by 2030. But the cost of an EV remains too high for most low-income rideshare drivers.

States and cities aiming to reduce transportation emissions should make rideshare electrification programs a core climate strategy. That’s because when high-mileage rideshare drivers go electric, the emissions benefits add up quickly.
After three years of shifting federal priorities, court rulings and evolving directives, the $5 billion National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program is entering a new phase defined by greater flexibility for states but also greater responsibility.
Across California, behind-the-meter batteries are being installed alongside rooftop solar to improve resilience and manage power costs. Yet permitting these customer-side energy storage systems remains a critical step that can slow deployment.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming a mainstream option for drivers across the country. Yet for many households, the cost of a new electric car is out of reach.
What’s a practical next step for states and utilities that want to ensure EV benefits reach lower-income households and communities?
Start by considering additional or expanded rebates for used EVs.
Utilities, grid operators and regulators across the country are working to accommodate more electric vehicle (EV) charging, yet many commercial EV charger projects face a frustrating bottleneck: energization.
Nationwide, $5 billion in federal funding is available to expand electric vehicle (EV) charging. To make the most of this investment through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program, states need planning tools that reflect how people will actually travel and charge in the years ahead.
Across the country, states and utilities are driving the shift to cleaner school transportation by helping local districts replace diesel buses with emission-free electric buses.
The benefits are clear: Electric school buses provide healthier air quality for children, quieter communities and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
