How Electric Cars and Trucks Improve US Grid Reliability

How Electric Cars and Trucks Improve US Grid Reliability

September 12, 2022 |

Policies that advance EV adoption are not in conflict with efforts to continue to move to renewable energy, but a means to achieve those goals and improve reliability. For example, California’s recently adopted Clean Car Standards will put about 14 million zero-emission vehicles on the road by 2035. If those were all battery-electric vehicles capable of putting electricity back onto the grid, that would represent a collective battery that could theoretically power all of the homes in California for three days.

Revamping the federal EV tax credit could help average car buyers combat record gasoline prices

Revamping the federal EV tax credit could help average car buyers combat record gasoline prices

June 11, 2022 |

The $7,500 federal EV tax credit has been a mainstay of U.S. electric vehicle policy for the past decade, stimulating EV sales by reducing the difference in purchase price compared to conventional vehicles. It could be even more important, and effective, in the coming years. By the end of this decade, 2030, the U.S. EV market has to expand from early adopters to the average vehicle buyer if we’re going to decarbonize road transport quickly enough to match either our climate or our  manufacturing goals.
