The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing changes that could weaken federal clean air standards, reversing decades of progress and putting the health of our communities at risk.

We have cleaner air with more cars on the road because clean vehicle standards work. The irony — and the danger — is that this success means many Americans have forgotten what it’s like to live with truly dirty air. We can’t let that complacency undo 50 years of progress.

Rolling back these standards would not only worsen those impacts, it would harm the more than 410,000 Americans employed in the clean vehicles industry and slow the growth of this job-creating sector.

We should all want to protect and improve our air quality. We should all also want to support and expand auto manufacturing. The existing clean air standards are driving the designing, building, testing, and deploying electric vehicles of the future.

The science is clear: Clean air saves lives. It improves public health, especially for children. And we know one of the biggest contributors to air pollution—and to asthma—is tailpipe emissions. When we reduce them, communities breathe easier, kids stay healthier, and fewer families endure nights in the emergency room wondering if their child will make it until morning.

The primary goal of the Kilowatt Cookout was to demonstrate the incredible versatility of EVs, particularly their Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capabilities. V2L allows EVs to function as mobile power sources and attendees were treated to an electrifying display.

For years, carpool lane access for EVs has been one of the simplest, most effective ways to encourage clean transportation. A single sticker or special plate (depending on the state) allowed EV drivers—regardless of the number of passengers—to use the High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, shaving time off commutes, easing congestion in regular lanes, and rewarding drivers for making the switch to zero-emission vehicles.

When you utilize KeySavvy to buy an EV, you're buying from a licensed dealership, so your used EV purchase will qualify, if all other federal requirements are met.

Right now, researchers from Utah State University, as part of the ASPIRE EV Partnership, are conducting a nationwide academic study to better understand electric vehicle owners’ experiences, needs, and charging habits. This research will help shape future EV infrastructure, policy, and education—and your input is essential.

Recently I took my Ioniq 5 from my home in Annapolis, Maryland to Miami and saved money and wear and tear on me. I did some research on what it would cost to fly, drive, or do the hybrid bit by taking the AutoTrain. I took the AutoTrain and it was an experience I wanted to share.

Over a recent weekend I had the opportunity to use my 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning as the power source for two food vendors at the annual Encinitas CA Eco-fest. The purpose was to demonstrate the Ford F-150 Lightning’s Pro Power Onboard generator capability. 

Owning an electric vehicle costs less than a comparable gasoline-powered car, according to a new report from Coltura. The organization's EV Savings Index shows that the average American driver who drives 15,000 miles a year can save $1,396 a year by switching to an EV. That includes fuel and maintenance costs.

Take action now: The U.S. Senate leadership plans to pass an unacceptable bill by July 4 that eliminates EV incentives and adds a yearly EV tax, while accelerating fossil fuel permitting and keeping oil and gas subsidies.

The Electric Vehicle Association is proud to stand with like-minded organizations in this attempt to reverse the work on air quality that goes back in the Golden State for 50 years. The fights in the courts over this issue have only just begun.
