About the Initiative

CLEE’s EV Equity Initiative seeks to build locally tailored, community-driven, and replicable approaches to the development of electric vehicle and mobility infrastructure in underserved communities in California and the US. Over the course of this multi-year effort, we will establish partnerships with local governments and stakeholders to advance equitable EV planning processes; conduct mapping exercises to identify highest-priority charger locations based on a range of locally appropriate factors; develop implementation roadmaps, guidebooks, and other resources; propose policy and legislative solutions as appropriate; and support implementation efforts wherever possible.
