Electric Vehicles

Transportation is the largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions in New York State, so it is imperative that we quickly electrify all vehicles. New Yorkers for Clean Power is committed to achieving New York State’s goal of getting 1 million electric vehicles on the road by 2025 and expanding infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs). We advance this work by:

• Connecting municipal officials and businesses with resources and funding opportunities to install new charging stations through outreach and organizing workshops and webinars. Check out the new rebates for Zero-emission Vehicles (ZEV) and grants for ZEV Infrastructure available to municipalities in New York State!
• Building a buzz for EVs by featuring towns and businesses that have installed charging stations and EV drivers by organizing press and test drive events and sharing on social media.
• Organizing promotional events including National Drive Electric Week, September 14-22, 2019

Contact us at info@nyforcleanpower.org for help installing EV charging stations in your community or to host a campaign event to raise awareness about the important role that EVs and municipal electric fleets play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and pollution.

Expanding EV infrastructure is one of the many solutions we’ll need to reduce and eliminate the greenhouse gases emitted from transportation. Another solution, the Transportation and Climate Initiative (TCI), involves caping the amount of emissions the transportation sector is allowed to emit, and expanding smart, renewable transit. TCI is a regional collaboration of Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states and the District of Columbia. The group is facilitated by the Georgetown Climate Center and seeks to improve transportation, develop the clean energy economy, and reduce carbon emissions from the transportation sector.
