Ensuring equitable access to EV charging is essential for creating a sustainable and inclusive future in San Mateo County. As electric vehicle adoption grows, many residents — particularly renters and those in multi-family housing — face significant barriers to charging at home. Join this free event with Bill Lane Center Research Manager Esther Conrad, as well as expert speakers from Redwood City, Peninsula Clean Energy and PG&E, to learn how we can make EV charging accessible for all. "Equitable Paths to EV Charging," hosted by Sustainable San Mateo County, will be held on Oct. 24 from 9:30-11:30 a.m. at the Sobrato Shoreway Conference Room in Redwood City. A light breakfast will be served. Visit https://lnkd.in/d6M6jq-V to register.

We can implement an equitable transition to electrified shared transportation, if electric shared mobility programs are planned and executed with equity in mind from the beginning of program design. Our new report shares a few lessons learned based on California case studies and interviews.
CLEE’s new EV Equity Initiative report, Electric Shared Mobility: California Lessons Learned for Equity in Program Design, presents an overview of lessons learned from six EV carshare and mobility hub programs in California. Shared mobility programs, including EV carshare initiatives, are one tool local governments can deploy to advance equitable access to low-carbon, flexible transportation options, and to meet their zero-emission transportation and climate goals. The report includes case studies on shared mobility programs such as BlueLA, Green Raiteros, and Míocar, among others. Based on expert interviews and analysis of these case studies, the report also shares important lessons from these programs that will help ensure that new and expanded shared mobility programs are both equitable and effective.

We've seen ports and energy, but how do these differ across communities? In the last of the series (for now...), we look at how charging in 2030 might differ across communities and how we need to continue to increase access to charging where you live, work and park. In the 2030 baseline case, we see 60% of the national EV fleet in suburban communities. EVs in those suburban communities will get 80% (64+4+4+8) of their energy from L1/L2. In contrast, urban communities may get more energy from fast charging (40%) than their suburban and rural neighbors. We have work to do to increase access to convenient, low cost, where you park charging in all communities and all housing types, making EVs more convenient and more affordable for everyone. https://lnkd.in/ebM-2TYr

"Residents of multi-family housing typically can't influence the installation of charging infrastructure in the buildings where they live, creating a real barrier for EV adoption that residents of single family homes don't typically encounter. Ava is building out our public DC fast charging network to help provide relief to this issue and see if through offering reliable, accessible charging infrastructure near our customers who live in multi-family housing, if that will bend the EV adoption curve further within our service territory and help more of our customers join this electrification journey." - Lori Bilella, Director of Clean Energy Services at Ava Read more about our our EV charging plan and Bay Area EV adoption: https://ow.ly/YOCy50ShwNO

You can help make e-bikes more accessible and expand electric bike share fleets in your community! A new federal grant from the Department of Energy made $54 million available for projects that drive innovation in equitable and clean transportation options across the U.S. The grant looks to expand access to e-mobility charging options for individuals who can’t charge at home and accelerate the transition to electrified fleets for bike share programs. This funding also aims to help meet the Biden-Harris Administration’s goal of getting 40% of investments in clean energy and climate solutions delivered to disadvantaged communities.

Last week, Retrofitworks enjoyed attending an exceptional event in York, hosted by York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority Representing RetrofitWorks David O'Neill (Membership Manager) was honoured to step in as a speaker to discuss a key topic: 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐨𝐧𝐞-𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐭. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭’𝐬 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 The event marked an exciting step toward creating a one-stop shop for retrofit in York. This initiative, spearheaded by York Community Energy and its partners, aims to simplify retrofitting and empower local communities with sustainable solutions. RetrofitWorks joined People Powered Retrofit and Cyd Innovation—fellow cooperatives and community-driven organizations—to share insights, lessons, and experiences with a highly engaged and diverse audience. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: This event embodied the power of cooperative principles—working together at local, regional, and national levels to make a tangible difference. 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐦𝐚𝐩𝐬: Hearing about different retrofit strategies highlighted that while methods may vary, the shared vision of stronger communities, healthier homes, and a greener planet remains constant. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐨𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: The in-person format made the day even more impactful, offering invaluable opportunities to connect and exchange ideas with passionate individuals and organizations. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 ? Spending time at events like these reinforces the importance of cooperative values and the collective effort required to tackle big challenges. It’s not just about improving homes; it’s about creating a legacy of sustainability and collaboration for the benefit of communities everywhere. 🔥 Join the Retrofit Revolution. At RetrofitWorks, we’re passionate about all things retrofit. Whether you have a project in mind, an idea to collaborate on, or are ready to join us as an advocate, service provider, or installer, we’d love to hear from you. 📧 Contact us at: [email protected] 🔗 Follow us here for updates and opportunities to get involved.

🚗🔋 Excited to share our latest publication on EV charger accessibility in Austin, authored by Junfeng Jiao, Seung Jun Choi and Chris Nguyen, EIT. Our study examines the disparities in accessibility to public EV chargers across different races, income levels, and urban versus suburban locations. We highlight the limitations of the current Justice40 initiative and emphasize the need for more localized case studies.
