In August, the Oakland Unified School District in California became the first major school district in the United States to fully electrify its school bus fleet. Each of the 74 electric school buses in the fleet has its own bi-directional charger, allowing the bus batteries to return energy to the grid when they are not being used. The fleet was made possible by Zum (www.ridezum.com), the leading provider of turnkey electric school...
At-home charging is the most common charging method among current EV drivers in the United States. It is convenient and reliable and less expensive than buying gasoline. However, people who live in apartments or condos often do not have access to a home charger, making EV ownership significantly more challenging. In order to achieve an equitable transition to EVs, these residents need convenient, reliable, and affordable charging o...
As electric vehicle adoption increases, the demand for critical minerals for batteries will also increase. There is an opportunity to create a closed loop minerals system through battery chemistry changes, energy density improvements, recycling, and other solutions. Already, chemistry changes and energy density improvements have significantly reduced virgin mineral demand. In this episode, E.J. Klock-McCook, principal of carbon-fre...
Electric vehicle sales continue to grow globally. Segments such as commercial vehicles and two- and three-wheelers have already reached very high levels of electrification—at 26 percent and 47 percent, respectively. However, electric vehicle growth is not consistent globally, and some markets have seen a decrease in the pace of electrification including in the United States. Bloomberg New Energy Finance’s recently-released 2024 Ele...
The biggest barrier to a full zero-emission transportation future is infrastructure. Just like a national gas-powered transportation system needed coast-to-coast gas stations to be built and complex supply chain logistics to transport fuel across the country, EVs need charging infrastructure with ready access to grid-provided energy in order to power EVs for daily commute and long-distance travel alike. For that to happen, EV charg...
With the anticipated announcement by EPA this week of the final version for its light-duty and medium-duty vehicle regulation, the transportation world is abuzz about the potential for two thirds of new passenger vehicles sold in 2032 to be EVs. To help you understand the implications of this rule, EV Hub Live is hosting experts Audrey LaForest from Automotive News and Chris Harto from Consumer Reports to discuss the details of the...
The Inflation Reduction Act aims to create nine million good jobs over the next decade, with ten percent of those jobs in clean manufacturing. This echoes the manufacturing boom that created the Steel Belt, bringing life to communities across the heartland of America. But that boom eventually led to the Rust Belt and a sense among manufacturing workers that they had been left behind. With labor movements on the rise, workers are be...
Atlas Public Policy rings in the new year with Gabe Klein, Executive Director of the U.S. Joint Office of Energy and Transportation.

When we think about EVs, many people immediately imagine electric cars quickly and quietly zipping down the highway. But for our guests today, the EV future includes alternative forms of transportation—like electric bicycles and scooters, or electric buses and rail. Our guests Stephanie Lotshaw from TransitCenter and Mike Salisbury from the City and County of Denver will discuss the importance of developing and providing alternativ...
