NYC and LA Are Teaming Up to Fight for EVs
New York City and Los Angeles County are collaborating to promote electric vehicles (EVs) in response to previous federal disinterest in electrification. The partnership aims to leverage their combined purchasing power to encourage manufacturers to produce more electric vehicles suitable for their fleets. Both cities face challenges in achieving their electrification goals due to a lack of available electric models and the need for expanded charging infrastructure.
- ▪New York City operates approximately 5,800 electric vehicles and has a mandate to transition its fleet to electric by 2035.
- ▪Los Angeles County aims for 100 percent fleet electrification by 2045 but currently has only 600 electric vehicles.
- ▪The partnership between NYC and LA is intended to create a strong advocacy bloc for electric vehicles despite industry challenges.
