Abstract:

The race is on to deploy well over 50 million electric vehicles in United States over the next 10 years—putting the US transportation sector on the path to limit global warming to 1.5°C. To achieve this scale of deployment, we must seize opportunities to accelerate the rapid decarbonization of the transportation sector. To electrify ridehailing vehicles at scale, key industry stakeholders must collaborate. Analysing 100 million miles of actual electric and gasoline ridehailing vehicle data, this report offers actionable recommendations for stakeholders to address three key barriers to implementation.
