EVALUATION OF STATE-LEVEL U.S. ELECTRIC VEHICLE INCENTIVES

The U.S. light-duty vehicle fleet is responsible for about half the petroleum consumed and about 17 percent of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the nation (National Research Council (NRC), 2013). Electric vehicles are a critical strategy in reducing petroleum dependence and GHG emissions from road transport (NRC, 2013). In 2013, almost 100,000 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) were sold in the U.S. (Hybridcars, 2014). However, electric vehicle uptake has lagged policy targets. In order to meet the Obama Administration’s goal of one million electric vehicles in the U.S. fleet by 2015, the market share would have to increase from less than 1% in 2013 to roughly 6 percent of the auto market (Rascoe & Seetharaman, 2013).
