Policy Toolkit
FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO ACCELERATE ELECTRIC VEHICLES
Electric vehicles save money by reducing operating costs, while improving public health, and addressing climate change by drastically reducing emissions. Today, there are light, medium and heavy duty electric vehicle (EV) options for fleets and consumers.
The Electrify the South Toolkit curates best-practice local government EV policies from around the country with links to real-world examples. The Toolkit provides a catalog of cost-effective, sustainable, and equitable policy options for public officials to choose from to support climate and transportation electrification action plans. The Toolkit is a living document that is updated biannually to keep pace with the rapidly expanding EV market.
