Gratitude to Assemblywoman Schiavo for Highlighting EV Access and Affordability
The November 20th informational hearing of the California Assembly Select Committee on Electric Vehicles and Charging Infrastructure, chaired by Assemblywoman Pilar Schiavo, brought together state leaders, researchers, and community experts to discuss how California can continue to make progress on zero emission vehicles and charging infrastructure despite federal headwinds.
We are grateful to Assemblymember Schiavo for inviting our CEO, Mike Murphy, to participate in the discussion and share insights informed by EVs for All America research on multifamily charging access, consumer experience, and practical steps that help more Californians benefit from electric vehicles. Mike testified in his capacity with our advocacy partner, the American EV Jobs Alliance, and his remarks drew on the multifamily EV charging data and analysis that our c3 team has been developing to support evidence-based policymaking.
