Promote the use of alternative fuel sources.
Alternative fuels produce less air pollution than traditional petroleum-based fuels.
Tool: Improve network of charging stations
In recent years, electric vehicle sales have jumped tremendously. In 2014, approximately 119,710 electric vehicles were sold in the United States, representing a 23% increase from 2013 and 128% from 2012.[i] Although electric vehicle sales represented less than one percent of car sales in 2014, in just a few years, their availability, reliability, and affordability has greatly increased and should continue to do so.
Case Studies
Tool: Improve network of alternative fuels available (CNG, EG).
Car buyers who are considering purchasing low-emission vehicles might be deterred from doing so because of a shortage of fueling stations that provide alternative fuels. Increasing the supply of alternative fuels in Provo will make owning low-emission vehicles easier and help clean our air.
