Atlas EV Hub

On November 13th, just over a week after the election, Atlas Public Policy's founder, Nick Nigro, will sit down with Mike Murphy, CEO of the EV Politics Project, to discuss what the results mean for electric vehicles. The incoming President and Congress will significantly influence the outcomes of the substantial investments in electric vehicle and battery manufacturing made in recent years. We are at a critical time for government regulations as manufacturers work to meet new state and EPA rules. Nick and Mike will unpack these issues and more.

Join Atlas Public Policy for our next EV Hub Live episode on January 10th for a look-ahead on EVs. We will be joined by Cassie Powers, Chief of Staff of the National Association of State Energy Officials and Phil Jones, Executive Director of the Alliance for Transportation Electrification. Our guests will discuss what we can expect to happen in the year ahead and will offer some reflections on developments from 2024. Their perspectives as leaders in the EV industry are especially relevant now, as changes in Washington following November’s election will likely result in changes to federal EV policy.

Last week, we introduced several updates to the EValuateNY dashboard, an interactive tool that consolidates and presents data on New York’s electric vehicle (EV) market. The dashboard integrates multiple data categories related to EVs, with most underlying datasets refreshed weekly and vehicle registration data refreshed monthly to ensure users have access to the most current information available.

In Q2 2024, nearly 363,000 light-duty electric vehicles (EVs) were sold in the United States, with battery electric vehicles (BEVs) making up a record 79 percent of this total, around 288,000 sales. In addition, EVs represented a 9.9 percent share of the overall light-duty vehicle market for the quarter. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/g2m3Yiik

Last month, the Oakland Unified School District in California became the first major school district in the United States to fully electrify its school bus fleet. Each of the 74 electric school buses in the fleet have their own bi-directional charger, allowing the bus batteries to return energy to the grid when they are not being used. The fleet was made possible by Zum, a provider of turnkey electric school bus solutions, and Pacific Gas and Electric, the electric utility which provides 2.7 MW to the site. On this episode, Ritu Narayan, Founder and CEO of Zum, and Sarah Swickard, Vehicle Grid Integration Manager and PG&E, talk about the Oakland fleet as well as opportunities and challenges related to electric school buses.

Earlier this month, Atlas researchers Lucy McKenzie, James Di Filippo, and Ben Sharpe, PhD released the first in a series of analyses aimed at summarizing the policy options available to local, state, and federal agencies, as well as utilities and utility regulators, to accelerate the buildout of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure at the lowest cost.

Atlas is headed to New York Climate Week! Our very own Moe Khatib, Matthew Vining, and Hannah Beilinson will be attending various sessions related to clean energy, transportation, and data. If you are around, let’s connect.

At-home charging is the most common charging method among current EV drivers in the United States. It is convenient and reliable and less expensive than buying gasoline. However, people who live in apartments or condos often do not have access to a home charger, making EV ownership significantly more challenging. In order to achieve an equitable transition to EVs, these residents need convenient, reliable, and affordable charging options. In this episode, Malcolm Johnson from UC Berkeley and Ellen Kennedy from RMI discuss recent research their organizations published on EV charging at multifamily housing, including barriers, equitable solutions, and examples.

At-home charging is the primary way most electric vehicle (EV) drivers in the United States power their vehicles, with around 80 percent of all charging occurring at home. However, for people living in apartments or condos, access to home charging can be difficult, making EV ownership less accessible. Tomorrow on EV Hub Live at 1pm EST, our very own Nicole Lepre will sit down with Malcolm Johnson from UC Berkeley and Ellen Kennedy from RMI to discuss recent research their organizations published on EV charging at multifamily housing, including barriers, equitable solutions, and examples. Check the comments to RSVP for the event! https://lnkd.in/dXxiXSTH
