We recently attended the ribbon cutting for The Charge, a state-of-the-art solar-powered charging facility for Anaheim Transportation Network fleet of battery-electric buses and vans! ATN engaged our #LosAngeles team to develop power requirements and an accompanying charging strategy, in addition to bus parking and charging dispenser layout. It is always amazing to see our projects come to life!    Transit agencies play a vital role in the California Air Resources Board's Innovative Clean Transit mission to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet air quality standards. These buses will reduce costs for ATN in the long term while providing cleaner air for the communities they serve.

The availability of charging stations is crucial for encouraging EV adoption, but businesses are also reshaping their models in response to growing consumer demand for sustainability, reflecting a broader shift towards electric mobility. If you're a business owner unsure of how to begin upgrading your infrastructure, Elecvulum is here to help. https://lnkd.in/erTfnDKY #ElecVulum #HobbsandCo #electricvehicles #evcharger #evcharging #infrastructure

Navigating the shift to electric vehicles (EVs) requires a delicate balance of public policy and private sector innovation. While regulations aim to hasten EV adoption, bureaucratic hurdles often slow infrastructure development. As seen in the slow rollout of federally-funded charging stations, effective management and coordination are critical to meeting EV market demands. Join the conversation on how to streamline the EV transition and learn more about ElecVulum's role in supporting sustainable transportation infrastructure.

As more electric vehicles get on the road, cities and counties are considering how to equitably build out the public charging infrastructure needed to power such vehicles. #electricvehicles #evcharging #publiccharging

Next week, the City of Austin Council will be moving forward with an amendment creating a new zoning category regulations to allow properties to be used exclusively for charging electric vehicles. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gDE9NKby We're happy to discuss the implications for your current or/and future operations in Austin. #ev #infrastructure #cityofaustin #landdevelopmentcode #charging #electricvehicle #climate #climateequity #austin #austintx #austintexas #governmentaffairs #governmentrelations

California is fast-tracking emobility progress as the state installs over 100,000 EV charge points ⚡️ California's infrastructure revolution is fuelled by a $1.9 billion investment plan, as well as initiatives such as Caltrans' Clean California project 🔋 Will California become the blueprint for other states to follow?

🚛⚡ New NRDC Blog Alert: The Fight for EV Infrastructure and Clean Air 🌱 I’m excited to share a new blog I co-authored with my colleague Beth Hammon: "A Dirty Detour: How Industry Pushback Puts EV Infrastructure At Risk." The transition to electric trucks is critical to cleaning the air in our communities and addressing the climate crisis. But this progress is threatened by industry pushback on policies like the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) rule—policies that are essential for creating the market certainty utilities need to invest in EV charging infrastructure. 🛠️ Key Takeaways: 1. Regulatory certainty, like that provided by ACT, drives the investments needed for grid upgrades to power zero-emission trucks. 2. Industry opposition risks delaying EV infrastructure, harming both public health and climate goals. 3. Communities near freight hubs, already burdened by pollution, can’t afford further delays in this essential transition. ACT isn’t just about adopting electric trucks—it’s about ensuring the infrastructure is ready to support them. We call on truck manufacturers to align their actions with their commitments to a zero-emission future. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/edSAFmjc Let’s work together to ensure the promises of a zero-emission future aren’t derailed by short-sighted tactics—because clean air, resilient infrastructure, and a livable climate can’t wait. 🌍 #ZeroEmission #CleanAir #EVInfrastructure #AdvancedCleanTrucks

National Infrastructure Week is a reminder that charging for electric vehicles, including medium- and heavy-duty trucks and transportation, is critical for California to meet its clean air and 2045 climate goals. Our Countdown to 2045 analysis shows that 90% of vehicles will need to run on clean electricity in the next two decades for the state to improve air quality and reach net zero. Southern California Edison (SCE)’s Charge Ready Transport program is accelerating the adoption of medium- and heavy-duty EVs by assuring available charging infrastructure. Last month, we energized WattEV, Inc.’s new depot with 12 dual-port chargers to support truck routes connecting the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles with inland destinations. Earlier this year, my teammate, Chanel Parson, participated in the grand opening of Zeem Solutions’ new medium- and heavy-duty charging site in Inglewood. SCE partnered with NFI and Electrify America to energize a charging depot in Ontario that opened in April and will allow battery-electric trucks to refill at 38 separate DC fast chargers. And just this week, Forum Mobility celebrated the groundbreaking of a drayage EV charging site at the Port of Long Beach. SCE is proud to provide the reliable electric infrastructure that makes California the leader in electrifying transportation. #infrastructureweek #cleanenergy #energy #innovation #electricvehicles #transportation #trucking https://lnkd.in/gyHWNmdn

🚗⚡ Electric Vehicle Infrastructure: Are You Ready for the Risks? ⚡🚗 As electric vehicles (EVs) surge in popularity, commercial building owners and developers must stay ahead of emerging risks—especially the threat of EV fires. 🌍🚨 While EVs are greener, fire safety is a growing concern, particularly with the risks posed by thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries. In our latest blog, we dive into these risks and share practical strategies to safeguard your property. Whether you're managing a car park or planning to install EV chargers, understanding these challenges is critical. #EVs #Sustainability #RiskManagement #BuildingSafety #businessinsurance #fleetinsurance

If you’ve been wondering if it’s worth responding to RFIs as part of your government funding strategy, you need to read this. 🚨 RFIs can be nearly as much work as an RFP (with no award). So, are they even worth it? 👉🏻Thanks to Kevin George Miller, we can hear directly from the agency (below) on why you absolutely should be bothering with “just an RFI.” ✍🏻Responding to an RFI can shape future funding opportunities. Your insights help federal agencies understand the market, address challenges, and refine the requirements for upcoming RFPs. And when those future opportunities roll out, guess who’s already on their radar? The companies that participated early and provided meaningful input (that’s your company!). Responding to RFIs allows your company to: ✅ Influence the direction of policy and investments ✅ Highlight your expertise in emerging technologies ✅ Get a leg up on your competition by staying ahead of the curve Don’t just wait for an RFP to come knocking—sometimes, the real opportunity starts with an RFI. 💡 #EVcharging #CleanTransportation #DriveElectric #ProposalWriter
