Overview
Energy Foundation’s mission is to promote the transition to a clean energy future in the United States. This grant will support the Transportation Program with its goal of reducing carbon emissions from vehicles and accelerating the transition to electric drive vehicles. The program’s main priority for 2017 is the defense of the federal fuel economy and greenhouse gas standards for light duty vehicles, adopted during the Obama administration, which not only reduce emissions, but also reduce costs for consumers. In addition, the grant will support efforts to develop utility, state, and local policies that encourage electric drive vehicle deployment.
