Educating Americans about the cost-savings and lifestyle benefits of electric vehicles (EVs) is critically important because upfront vehicle cost and charging anxiety remain the primary barriers for transitioning both passenger vehicles and fleet vehicles to electric. We have seen sectors throughout the EV industry fill the gap left by unprecedented federal shifts — from automakers to state and local government agencies to rideshare operators. While these gap-filling efforts are moving the needle, electric utilities across the country have picked up the leadership mantle once held by federal government leadership, becoming EV market accelerators by increasing their already-significant investments to further drive adoption and scale programs that holistically address systemic barriers to transportation electrification.
