Electrification Coalition Foundation

The U.S. Department of Energy hosted the first-ever Global Clean Energy Action Forum, a joint convening of the 13th Clean Energy Ministerial and the 7th Mission Innovation Ministerial, in September 2022. As part of the forum’s formal programming, the Electrification Coalition hosted the Electric Vehicles Room, one of 12 sector-specific rooms. The coalition also officially launched the Electric Freight Consortium, a forum for collaboration between the coalition and private-sector partners (shippers, carriers, retailers, and OEMs) on strategies and actions that will accelerate freight electrification at scale. The new consortium is an exclusive space for partners to collaborate, while leveraging the Electrification Coalition’s direct experience in policy action and real-world EV deployment.

The Electrification Coalition Foundation is advancing electric mobility beyond early adopters and driving economies of scale. This grant will strengthen their U.S. Electric Freight Consortium, which consists of the nation’s most recognized brands involved in the road transport of goods around the country. The goals of the consortium include providing support to industry members, so they can electrify their fleets rapidly, and to use the power of the consortium to highlight critical policy needs for accelerating freight electrification.

The Electrification Coalition (EC) develops and implements a broad set of strategies to facilitate the widespread adoption of electric vehicles to overcome the economic, public health, and national security challenges that stem from America’s dependence on oil. The organization has grown substantially in terms of staff, resources, and initiatives since the last strategic planning exercise. This grant will allow EC to hire a consultant to assist in developing a three-year strategic plan.
