Virginia is for EV L vers
The Road Ahead is Electric!
We, the undersigned, believe in the importance of a cleaner, healthier, and more economically vibrant future for the Commonwealth of Virginia. By committing to the continued adoption and support of electric vehicles (EVs), we can achieve significant health, environmental, and economic benefits for all Virginians.
The benefits of embracing electric vehicles are clear:
-
Jobs and Economic Growth: The EV industry brings new jobs, investments, and innovation to Virginia, driving economic growth and ensuring a prosperous future for the Commonwealth.
-
Financial Saving: EV owners benefit from lower fuel and maintenance costs. EV drivers spend half as much to repair and maintain their vehicles as owners of gas-powered cars do, according to Consumer Reports. Driving an electric vehicle in Virginia is equivalent to $1 per gallon of fuel, resulting in significant long-term savings and contributing to overall financial benefits for consumers and businesses. Choosing an EV can save drivers up to $12,000 over the life of the vehicle when compared to owning a comparable gas-powered vehicle.
-
Energy Independence and Sustainability: EVs support using renewable energy sources, decreasing reliance on fossil fuels and promoting energy independence. They reduce demand on foreign oil, where 70% of the U.S.'s demand comes from the transportation sector, and are powered through domestically produced energy, potentially through renewable energy sources.
-
Improved Public Health: Reduced emissions from EVs lead to cleaner air and fewer health problems related to air pollution. A widespread transition to electric vehicles could result in nearly $30 billion in public health benefits in Virginia and avoid 115 premature deaths, more than 1,780 asthma attacks, and nearly 8,190 lost workdays each year.
We are calling on the Commonwealth of Virginia to prioritize the electrification of transportation and show their support for initiatives that promote alternative transportation options. Sign the petition for a cleaner, greener Virginia that remains on a path to prosperity. Let's move VIRGINIA forward, not backward.

What's an EV?
Electric vehicles, also known as EVs, are automobiles powered by electricity stored in rechargeable batteries instead of traditional internal combustion engines. They offer several advantages over conventional vehicles, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improved energy efficiency, and quieter operation. Electric vehicles come in various forms, ranging from all-electric models that solely rely on battery power to plug-in hybrid vehicles that combine battery power with an internal combustion engine. These vehicles are multimodal, ranging from e-bikes to heavy-duty freight trucks.
Did you know?
As more and more cities around the country aim to reduce their carbon footprint, it is likely that Electric Vehicles have become an increasingly important part of the transportation ecosystem.
These Auto manufacturers that have set all EV targets by 2030: BMW, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Mazda, Nissan, Stellantis, Subaru, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo.
Virgnia has joined 16 other states and Washington D.C. in adopting Clean Car Standards and has set a mandate that all new vehicles sold in VA must be electric by 2035. In addition, Virginia passed a Total Cost of Ownership law that requires the state to consider total cost of vehicles when purchased and must purchase electric vehicles over gas vehicles where the total cost is less
