| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc | 0 | AS FAST AS EV ADOPTION GREW IN 2018, EV POLICY TOOK OFF JUST AS QUICKLY. POSITIVE DEVELOPMENTS INCLUDED MORE UTILITIES PROPOSING TRANSPORTATION ELECTRIFICATION PROGRAMS, WHICH INCLUDES THE DEPLOYMENT OF EV INFRASTRUCTURE, EV CHARGING RATES AND EV EDUCATION AND OUTREACH PROGRAMS, AS WELL AS MORE UTILITY COMMISSIONS OPENING STAKEHOLDER PROCESSES TO EXPLORE THE UTILITY AND COMMISSIONER ROLE AS THE SECTOR GROWS. BUT WITH THE POSITIVE CAME THE NEGATIVE. NAMELY, AN ATTACK ON THE ZERO-EMISSION VEHICLE (ZEV) MANDATE - THE SINGLE BIGGEST POLICY DRIVER FOR EVS - THROUGH THE PROPOSED ROLLBACK OF THE CLEAN CAR STANDARDS AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. IN ADDITION, THERE WERE A SLEW OF BILLS ACROSS STATE HOUSES THAT WOULD IMPOSE PUNITIVE REGISTRATION FEES ON EV DRIVERS.AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL, 2018 WAS A BUSY YEAR. WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN PRESERVING THE SECTION 30D EV TAX CREDIT OF UP TO $7,500 FROM BEING CUT IN THE TAX PACKAGE THAT MOVED THROUGH THE CONFERENCE PROCESS. WE ALSO CONTINUED TO EDUCATE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MODIFYING THE TAX CREDIT TO WORK FOR MORE DRIVERS FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. TO THIS END WE HOSTED OUR SECOND ANNUAL EV RIDE AND DRIVE ON CAPITOL HILL, WORKING WITH SENATOR PORTMAN'S OFFICE AND THE SENATE AUTO CAUCUS TO HOST THE EVENT. PLUG IN AMERICA WAS ALSO VERY ACTIVE ON THE PROPOSED CLEAN CAR STANDARDS ROLLBACK BY THE EPA AND NHTSA. WE SUBMITTED COMMENTS, PUT OUT A PETITION FOR OUR MEMBERS TO SIGN IN OPPOSITION TO THE ROLLBACK AND HOSTED A RALLY IN OPPOSITION AT THE PUBLIC HEARING IN FRESNO. PLUG IN AMERICA ALSO BECAME A MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL COALITION FOR ADVANCED TRANSPORTATION (NCAT) TO JOIN LITIGATION ON THE RE-OPENING OF THE MID-TERM EVALUATION OF THE CLEAN CAR STANDARDS.IN CALIFORNIA, WE CONTINUED TO WORK ON ISSUES SUCH AS THE REMOVAL OF SOME EV DRIVERS FROM THE HOV LANES STARTING IN JANUARY 2019. WE HOSTED A PETITION, HELD MEETINGS WITH KEY STAFF AND LEGISLATORS AND SUBMITTED COMMENTS MULTIPLE TIMES. WE CONTINUE TO SEEK SOLUTIONS TO REMEDY THE HOV ACCESS FOR EV DRIVERS. IN ADDITION, WE ALSO PROVIDED SUPPORT TO A NUMBER OF BILLS PERTINENT TO ADVANCING THE EV MARKET. WE ALSO WORKED WITH OTHER EV ADVOCATE GROUPS ON POST-2025 STANDARDS FOR AUTOMAKERS UNDER THE ZEV MANDATE. ON THE UTILITY FRONT, PLUG IN AMERICA WAS ACTIVE WITH THE ALLIANCE FOR TRANSPORTATION ELECTRIFICATION, AND SUBMITTED COMMENTS FROM THE EV DRIVER PERSPECTIVE IN A NUMBER OF STATES INCLUDING: MD, VT, CA, NY, AZ, SC AND MORE. WE ALSO HOSTED EV RIDE AND DRIVES TO EDUCATE UTILITY COMMISSIONERS ON THE BENEFITS OF EVS AT THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REGULATORY UTILITY COMMISSIONERS (NARUC) CONFERENCE AND THE MID-ATLANTIC COMMISSIONER CONFERENCE (MACRUC). PLUG IN AMERICA WAS ALSO AN ORIGINAL AUTHOR AND SIGNATORY OF THE TRANSPORTATION ELECTRIFICATION ACCORD (TE ACCORD), WHICH HIGHLIGHTS THE BROAD PRINCIPLES TO TRANSPORTATION ELECTRIFICATION FOR ALL STAKEHOLDERS TO AGREE TO. THE TE ACCORD WAS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED IN JUNE 2018.AROUND THE COUNTRY, PLUG IN AMERICA WAS ACTIVE ON A NUMBER OF ISSUES. IN GEORGIA, WE CONTINUED TO PUSH FOR AN EV TAX CREDIT AND A REDUCED EV USER FEE. IN COLORADO, WE RALLIED UP OUR EV DRIVERS TO SUPPORT THE STATE'S INQUIRY INTO ADOPTING THE CA CLEAN CAR STANDARDS AND PARTICULARLY THE ZEV MANDATE. IN VERMONT WE WERE ACTIVE ON THE COMMISSION PROCESS TO UNDERSTAND IF EVSE SHOULD BE REGULATED OR NOT. IN WASHINGTON AND NEW JERSEY WE PUT OUT ACTION ALERTS ON EV LEGISLATION. THIS IS JUST A SMALL SAMPLING OF OUR STATE ACTIVITY. FINALLY, PLUG IN AMERICA CONTINUED TO EDUCATE GROUPS AROUND THE COUNTRY ON CONSUMER PROTECTION ISSUES, SUCH AS THE NESCAUM MEMBERS. WE WORKED WITH TESLA AND OTHERS ON A MODEL BUILDING CODE FOR INSTALLING EVSE IN NEW CONSTRUCTION AND RETROFITS. WE RELEASED A 2.0 VERSION OF OUR ACHIEVE MODEL POLICY TOOLKIT, AND WE PREPARED A NUMBER OF NEW FACTSHEETS ON ISSUES SUCH AS: DCFC RATES, OPEN ACCESS, TE PRINCIPLES FOR REGULATORS, VGI, EDUCATION AND OUTREACH, AND MUCH MORE. |
