States across the country are driving the transition to zero-emission transportation — despite federal uncertainty. EDF’s U.S. Electric Vehicle State Policy Landscape Report offers an in-depth analysis of 16 key electric vehicle (EV)-supportive policies across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, demonstrating that states are already using proven policy tools to advance clean, affordable transportation.
States across the political spectrum continue to move the EV transition forward:
- Every state has adopted at least four EV-supportive policies, reflecting broad, bipartisan commitment to expanding clean transportation across a range of policy tools.
- California leads with all 16 policies in place, while diverse states across the country — including Arizona, Colorado, Illinois and Alabama — have built diversified EV policy portfolios.
- Charging infrastructure investment is nearly universal: Almost every state offers incentives or rebates for EV charging equipment through state or utility programs, and all states participate in the bipartisan National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program to build a national fast-charging network.
- Forty states offer incentives for medium- and heavy-duty EVs, signaling broad support for cleaner trucks and buses.
