Electric Mobility for All
Summary
The report 'Electric Mobility for All' is a feasibility study by RMI that examines electric transportation options for low- to moderate-income (LMI) residents in Connecticut. It aims to address equity gaps in the transition to zero-emissions vehicles, specifically focusing on how to overcome barriers such as cost premiums and limited charging infrastructure for LMI communities who are disproportionately affected by poor air quality.
Key insights
- Low- to moderate-income (LMI) communities are disproportionately affected by health issues, poor air quality, and a lack of quality transportation access, meaning they would benefit most from the reduction of tailpipe emissions.
- LMI residents face significant barriers to adopting personal electric vehicles, primarily due to the current cost premium of the vehicles and difficulties in accessing charging infrastructure.
- The study developed models for the design, funding, and implementation of electric mobility solutions intended to be applicable in Connecticut and other jurisdictions seeking equitable electric mobility programs.
