Grounded Podcast: 2021 BiZEV & EV Extravaganza
On this episode of Grounded, We discuss the inaugural Biennial Zero Emission Report with EV expert, Jessica Reichers. By the end of this podcast, you will know the difference between the different types of electric vehicles, where to find them, why to go Electric, and how to shop for your very own!
Jessica Reichers is ODOE's Energy Technology & Policy Manager and is passionate about EV adoption. Jessica has a background in zoology and biological sciences from Louisiana State University and is a true rock star on and off the stage.
The 2021 Biennial Zero Emission Vehicle Report dives into EV trends and data, including the positive effect making the switch to electric transportation options can have on Oregon’s climate change goals. The report also outlines several recommendations to support reliable and accessible charging infrastructure, to improve data collection and analysis to better understand Oregon’s ZEV landscape and to inform policy options to increase Oregonians’ access to ZEVs, to further assess barriers to equitable access to ZEVs, and to identify and implement best practices for measuring equitable access to electric vehicle charging, among others.
