Abstract:

RMI’s blog highlights the need for building adequate charging infrastructure for ride-hailing drivers to adopt electric vehicles. The piece also proposes that electrifying ridesharing fleets, along with the right set of policies and programs can deliver enough charging demand to make it profitable to install this charging network. This will provide cost-effective charging to all, including those with lower incomes who have, to date, been largely left on the sidelines of transportation electrification.
