Request for Proposals: Quantifying the environmental justice impacts of zero-emission vehicles
This research report would review available data on the distribution of ZEVs within major markets. Through dialog with environmental justice experts and new research, it would then assess how environmental justice communities may be affected by changes in air quality, climate change impacts, changes in vehicle ownership costs, and workforce impacts posed by ZEVs.
