Priorities
Electrification on a mass scale is an enormously complex undertaking. Policy measures should be designed to deploy vehicles and infrastructure in a coordinated, strategic manner.
-
Deployment Communities
The Electrification Coalition’s central policy recommendation is to establish electric vehicle deployment communities in defined geographic areas throughout the United States.
-
Batteries and Vehicles
Policies to encourage the manufacture of batteries and vehicles at scale are critical to bringing prices down.
-
Charging Infrastructure
Deploying electric vehicles at scale will require the construction of a network of charging infrastructure, both public and private.
-
Electric Power Sector Interface
To make any large deployments of infrastructure feasible in their interaction with the grid, the functioning of the hardware must be intelligently coordinated with grid operations.
-
Consumer Acceptance
Technologically advanced grid-enabled vehicles will need to overcome a number of consumer hurdles in order to reach high penetration rates.
-
Electric Vehicle Fleets
Fleet electrification offers another important step toward scale manufacture of vehicles and infrastructure.
