Along with education to the public that demystifies electric cars and EV charging, we must dispel many misleading myths.  As clean air advocates, we need to work for change in our local communities and states.

Plug In America and the Sierra Club have made that a bit easier to actualize.  They released the AchiEVe: Model State & Local Policies to Accelerate Electric Vehicle Adoption toolkit.  This policy guide details the most effective policies for growing the electric vehicle (EV) market at the state, city, and local levels.

“The EV market is growing rapidly, but we need a strong policy to support the market’s transition from the early adopter phase into the mass market stage.  This toolkit will help policymakers, utilities, and clean transportation advocates implement policies in their local communities that will expand electric vehicle adoption in ways that are both effective and equitable,” says Mary Lunetta, Campaign Representative for Sierra Club’s Electric Vehicles Initiative and one of the main authors of the report.
