VALUES
ELECTRIC FOR ALL
We see a world in which all people and goods are moved by electricity and all people who want a vehicle can choose electric. We ask, ‘who isn’t here yet?’ and we open doors for them. We are dedicated to achieving equitable and inclusive access to zero-emission vehicles.
INSPIRED AMBITION
We are driven by the art of possible. When we come up with ideas, we ask, ‘how big can we go?’ We’re motivated by moonshots. We continually iterate to tackle the barriers to zero-emission vehicle adoption head-on, and we dream big.
LASER FOCUSED
What we do, we do well. We are discerning so we can demonstrate return on investment of our resources and stay focused on what we know will move our mission forward fastest.
HUMBLE EXPERT
We are curious. We ask questions. We are learners who seek continual improvement. We listen deeply, and we integrate what we learn into our strategies. We’re proud of our accomplishments.
WORLD-CLASS PARTNER
We know we can’t achieve the electric for all vision by ourselves. We don’t go-it alone. Ever. We seek partnership in the design and execution of all of our programs and campaigns. People know if they come to us, we will respect their point of view and expertise. We’re stronger together.
