States and local governments have a unique and timely opportunity to lead with stable electric vehicle (EV) policy in the face of a shifting federal policy landscape. We’ve seen what states can do when they band together for a common goal. More than a decade ago, 10 states pledged to put 3.3 million EVs on the road by 2025. At the time, it was an ambitious prospect when there were only 200,000 EVs on the road and fewer than 20 models to choose from. The 10 states agreed to adopt similar incentives and regulations to encourage EV ownership, cut pollution, and boost their economies. Now, the state-led effort has hit the 3.3 million milestone, according to a recent report by the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management…
Millions of Americans are ready to go electric — but misperceptions and unfamiliarity with electric vehicles (EVs) are holding them back. To address misinformation, Veloz, a nonpartisan 501 (c)(3) nonprofit and longtime innovator in EV education, has been awarded a $43.5 million sponsorship from Electrify America, the largest open Hyper-Fast charging network in the U.S., to mark the beginning of a much-needed national Electric For All consumer education effort.
Two headlines in the last month tell compelling stories for the future of the EV market in 2025. First, according to our recently released polling data, 60% of Americans agree the election results had zero impact on their interest in getting an electric vehicle (EV). The second, which supports our poll findings, comes from The New York Times reporting major automaker sales gains in 2024 thanks to the introduction of dozens of competing EV models, providing buyers with newer designs, lower prices at the dealership and the $7,500 federal tax incentive. Despite the sales growth of EVs in the U.S., our data shows that Americans mistakenly believe we are a leader in EV manufacturing.
While consumers and industry leaders read the crystal ball on the potential policy shifts from the incoming federal administration, the polling data and EV sales trends show that whether a Republican or Democrat is in the White House, EVs have the momentum and are here to stay. China is currently the global leader on EV manufacturing; however, America is positioned to also lead if we keep the pedal to the metal on EV manufacturing investments. We must do more to support EV manufacturing in the U.S. to lead in this crucial global economic pillar.
