Now that I have your attention…

slide-6
SLIDE 6

Let’s begin.

slide-7
SLIDE 7

The VW Settlement supports programs transitioning states towards electric vehicles, including…

Electric Ports EV Charging Stations Zero Emission Buses

…and more!

slide-8
SLIDE 8

However…

slide-9
SLIDE 9

The VW Settlement can also fund programs supporting diesel and alternate-fueled vehicles.

slide-10
SLIDE 10

So here is the BIG question.

slide-11
SLIDE 11

The Main Question:

$2.7 billion for diesel and natural gas programming?

  • OR

OR -

$2.7 billion for electric transportation? A: Let’s Drive Electric!

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Why push electric?

slide-13
SLIDE 13

(4) Reasons.

slide-14
SLIDE 14

(1) Electric saves money…

So urc e : “F ue l Pric e s,” U.S. De pa rtme nt o f E ne rg y, http:/ / www.afdc .e ne rg y.g o v/ fue ls/ pric e s.html

slide-15
SLIDE 15

(1) Electric saves money… and is only getting cheaper!

So urc e : Inte rna tio nal E ne rg y Ag e nc y, Glo bal E V Outlo o k 2016; https:/ / www.ie a.o rg / public atio ns/ fre e public atio ns/ public atio n/ Glo b al_E V_Outlo o k_2016.pdf

slide-16

(2) EVs Create In-State Jobs.

(3) EVs keep oil money in-state.

Electrifying Ports

  • Ports are incredibly dirty, polluting

large amounts of NOx and greenhouse gases

  • Low-income communities are most

directly impacted by the air pollution emitted from ports

  • Options for electrifying ports:
  • 1. Shore-Ship Power (i.e. “cold ironing”)
  • 2. Electric Drayage (short haul) Trucks
  • 3. Forklifts
