New Issue Brief: Community Engagement in Equity-Oriented EV Planning
The Center for Law, Energy & the Environment (CLEE) released an issue brief that documents the community‑engagement process behind the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments’ (AMBAM) EV CAR planning initiative. The brief draws on interviews and a multilingual survey of more than 600 low‑income Latino residents across three California counties. Respondents highlighted range anxiety, vehicle cost, limited charging stations, and low familiarity with EV technology as primary obstacles, while also noting broader transit and pedestrian deficiencies. CLEE concludes that the project’s CBO‑led, multilingual outreach aligns with its equity‑oriented EV planning framework and offers concrete recommendations for implementation.
