We’re on the road to an electric future — and you can help drive us there.
It’s a hard truth: We simply can’t solve global warming without changing how we all get around. Transportation is now America’s No. 1 source of global warming pollution, and cars account for 60% of our transportation pollution.
The good news is that we have never been closer to an electric vehicle future than we are right now — a future where our kids ride electric buses to school, our mail and packages arrive in electric trucks, and every new car that is sold gets plugged in at night. Together, we can protect our climate by accelerating the transition to an electric vehicle future.
Just a few years ago, electric school buses were practically unheard of. Today, more than five million students across America attend school in a district with electric buses on the road - and that number is growing fast.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The California Air Resources Board (CARB) unanimously on Friday to adopt the Advanced Clean Fleet (ACF) rule, which requires replacing diesel trucks used in ports with 100% zero emission trucks by 2035, mandates that 100% of new trucks and buses sold in California by manufacturers be zero emission by 2036, and speeds up the timeline for government and larger companies to only buy zero emission trucks and buses when they purchase new vehicles.
The Biden administration proposed Wednesday some of the most ambitious vehicle pollution limits in the world, following similar actions by many U.S. states. The pending rule from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is designed to ensure that all-electric cars make up as many as 2 out of every 3 new passenger vehicles sold in the United States by 2032.
