The Accelerate to Zero Emissions Collaboration will develop and
implement an EV Strategy that exceeds state goals and positions the region
as the national leader on EVs by:
- Encompassing a holistic strategy that includes light duty, medium duty,
and heavy duty EVs and infrastructure
- Evaluating existing conditions, and goals, and mapping out how best to
leverage resources among participating agencies
- Establishing goals and metrics for 2025 and 2030
- Providing regional role recommendations and responsibilities
The Strategy document is currently in its draft form. Its draft strategies build off of the Regional Gap Analysis completed
in July 2021, and reflect additional research and analysis done this year. Additionally, they are informed
by the results of ongoing community engagement.
Currently, the draft A2Z strategies are:
- Increase the proportion of ZEVs on the road
- Install ZEV chargers equitably across the San Diego region, especially in rural areas and communities of
concern
- Provide equitable and accessible opportunities to learn about ZEVs and ZEV infrastructure
- Provide ZEV workforce training opportunities
- Make the installation of ZEV infrastructure more straightforward and accessible
- Support government policies that encourage ZEV adoption
- Facilitate ZEV infrastructure in residential and commercial areas by creating new permit processes and
updating building codes
- Ensure local utilities can handle an increase in ZEVs
- Increase the proportion of ZEVs in local government and business fleets
- Support collaboration across local governments to meet regional ZEV goals
The Regional Strategy is expected to be complete in 2023.
