  • The implementation and operation of programs/projects which advocate ZEV adoption.
  • Create discussions among the members about coordination of projects and programs to increase the effectiveness, and ensure equitable access to the population.
  • Education of partners, public and private policy makers and EV consumers about best practices for optimizing the adoption of ZEV for existing BEV and PHEV drivers and potential EV drivers.
