Simplifying Data for Transportation Electrification
Electrica makes it easier to understand complex problems by guiding and equipping advocates and funders with data-driven information for transportation electrification. Whether your ambitions are to effect change in the U.S. at the national, regional, state, or local level, Electrica provides easy access to over 90 data sets and multiple scenarios through which to explore opportunities to advance transportation electrification. Shaped by a diverse group of transportation electrification colleagues, Electrica has been informed by the community for the community.

Making Data-Driven Decisions
Explore opportunities to accelerate transportation electrification across the U.S. and within states. Electrica allows you to rank states based on factors such as share of the auto market, auto employment, number of people who are exposed to truck pollution, or a combination of these and many other factors. Use the tool to define priorities and explore the results by choosing a scenario or creating a custom one. Use the findings to inform your strategic electrification efforts.
For any scenario, adjust the weight of 11 different factors that influence how states rank in relation to each other. The community chose factors that encompass the variety of issues that a user may want to consider when presenting or exploring the role of vehicle electrification in a state or region. The combination of factors address the relative need for electrification, the potential benefits in the state and nationally, and how quickly and ambitious a state is likely to be in shifting the market. The 11 factors are EV policy momentum to date, in-state political opportunity, state influence on federal policy, climate impacts from transportation, EV market potential, vehicle market influence, auto industry employment, utility engagement, corporate influence, air pollution and systemic health inequities, and oil opposition.
Dig in deeper by individually weighing 90 data sets and explore why different states are important to advancing vehicle electrification. Choose to ignore market momentum to view which states are critical going forward, regardless of where they currently are on their transportation electrification journey. Compare specific regions, or across a few individual states to see which opportunities are greatest.
