• Session Title: The Role of Electric Vehicles in Reaching Carbon Reduction Goals
• Session Description:

Transportation is the largest source of GHG emissions in the U.S., accounting for 29% of the nationwide emissions total. For many corporations, reducing carbon emissions from transportation becomes an important tool towards decarbonization. Fully electric vehicles do not have tailpipe emissions, and the electricity that fuels them can be significantly less carbon-intensive than gasoline or diesel.

In addition to having environmental benefits, electric vehicles cost much less to operate. Converting vehicles powered by an internal combustion engine to an electric fleet can reduced operating expenses with lower fueling and maintenance costs. The initial capital cost can also be offset with vehicle rebates, grants, other incentives – which builds a positive case for electrification.

While there is no one size fits all approach to net-zero emissions in transportation, there are some general considerations to keep in mind in your vehicle electrification strategy. During this presentation, I will review role electric vehicles can play in reaching carbon reduction goals and get into the key steps and conversations in creating a plan to electrify fleets. With the right plans, fleets that electrify significantly reduce carbon, meet day-to-day operational needs, and enjoy significant cost savings.
