The Colorado Energy Office undertook this electric vehicle (EV) equity study to establish an understanding of factors that would prevent areas with greater socioeconomic or transportation need from accessing electric transportation and its benefits, and to provide tools for the state of Colorado and its partners to design programs that support equitable electrification. This EV equity study report describes the menu of options available to support transportation electrification in an equity-centered approach and provides tools that would immediately support the state of Colorado in implementing these options. Throughout his report, the term 'EV equity' refers broadly to any policy, strategy, engagement, assistance, or other resource that supports equitable access to electric transportation and its benefits. The report is broken into four sections that focus on different questions of equity.
