Electric vehicles (EVs) present an opportunity to reduce emissions from the transportation sector and enhance the sustainability of our communities. As the public’s demand for EVs intensifies, and as federal funding opportunities present themselves, the need for additional electric charging infrastructure is undisputable.
The transition to EVs is a positive disruptor that will impact many aspects of mobility. As it evolves, VHB continues to have conversations and explore solutions around land use, equitable infrastructure, safety, efficiency, standards and policies, and future charging technologies.
“EV infrastructure drives future-focused outcomes—Smart Communities will rely on EV charging stations to power connected and autonomous vehicles and further integrate data, technology, and innovation to improve sustainability and quality of life.”
—Curt Ostrodka, Director of Smart Communities
