EI’s Sara Baldwin says with political leadership, policy ambition, and a focus on an equitable transition, the U.S. can chart the course to all-electric vehicle sales by 2035 and a clean transportation future for all.

EI’s Amanda Myers says research shows it’s very possible to meet the associated rise in electricity demand from an all-electric vehicle sales standard by 2035, but utilities need to plan for that and many already are.

EI’s Robbie Orvis says a policy mechanism will be needed to retire the last remaining coal plants by the end of the decade to achieve 50 percent emissions reductions.

EI’s Amanda Myers says without strong policy to reach 100 percent EV sales and 90 percent clean electricity targets, like strong national fuel economy and tailpipe emissions standards, Americans will forgo the significant benefits of vehicle electrification and miss the chance to steer towards a better future.

EI’s Sara Baldwin says the transition from fossil-fuel-powered cars and trucks to electric vehicles is already underway, but America needs increased policy ambition to truly accelerate market transformation.

EI’s Sara Baldwin says the transition from fossil-fuel-powered cars and trucks to electric vehicles is already underway, but the U.S. needs increased policy ambition to truly accelerate market transformation, sustain and create good-paying jobs, and aid in the country’s economic recovery.

EI’s policy report explains why strong federal fuel economy standards, state-level zero-emission vehicle standards, financial incentives, and labor standards to buy domestic manufacturing are necessary to achieve all-electric vehicle sales by 2035.

EI report with the University of California, Berkeley and GridLab shows if the U.S. sells only electric vehicles by 2035, it could save drivers and fleets about $2.7 trillion in vehicle, fuel, and maintenance costs through 2050.

EI’s Sara Baldwin says the lead policy lever for achieving all-electric vehicle sales by 2035 is strong national fuel economy and tailpipe emission standards, ideally reaching zero emissions by 2035.

EI report shows the role of government policy to accelerate transportation electrification is crucial, first with incentives to buy electric vehicles until there is price parity and then to rapidly ramp up fast-charging infrastructure.

EI’s Sara Baldwin says Biden’s infrastructure plan is a good start to accelerating vehicle electrification but should be supplemented by investments from state and local governments and the private sector.

EI research finds a 50 percent reduction in emissions by 2030 is feasible if the electricity sector were to rapidly shift away from coal and natural gas, and toward renewable energy, along with a rapid scaling up of electric vehicle use.

EI’s Eric Gimon says power markets must evolve to support continued decarbonization and achieve a sustainable end-state clean power system.

EI’s Sara Baldwin says updates to building codes and processes to better support electrification are urgently needed and would cut emissions from the buildings sector, avoid dangerous climate change, and improve health and equity.

EI’s Sara Baldwin says ending the use of fossil fuels in all new construction as soon as possible is critical to meeting climate targets.

EI’s Eric Gimon says investing in winterization of wind and solar and home insulation could prevent the next Texas electricity grid crisis, and would be a more efficient and effective way investment that Buffett’s proposed new gas.

EI’s Sara Baldwin explains why focusing on electrification in just thirteen top industries could deliver deep emissions reductions, and how smart policies can jumpstart low-carbon technology adoption and reduce electric costs.

EI’s Hal Harvey says government buying power can make new technologies more cost-effective, and the private sector, spurred by ever-stronger performance standards can then make them ubiquitous.

EI’s Robbie Orvis says retiring all coal and achieving 80 percent clean electricity by 2030 is key to halving emissions this decade and must be part of a new U.S. Nationally Determined Contribution.

EI’s Bruce Nilles says the 350,000 federal government buildings are perfect for showcasing the pollution and financial savings associated with making them all-electric.
