Dive Brief:
Only a few states and power companies are taking steps to ensure low- and moderate-income communities and communities of color benefit from the transition to electric vehicles, according to a new report from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE).
The study, published Tuesday morning, examined 36 states where utilities have filed transportation electrification plans, and concluded only six have some form of equity mandate or consideration. Without strong policies in place, you could see a big round of ratepayer-funded charging investments going disproportionately to communities that least need the support, said Peter Huether, ACEEE’s senior research analyst for transportation and author of the study.
