Electric Vehicles: Colorado’s Future of Transportation
This documentary series explores the enormous potential of EVs (electric vehicles) to transform and reshape the way we move, work and save money. With the Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) standard, Colorado is poised to take advantage of three major opportunities for mass EV adoption:
Public charging infrastructure
Single, multifamily and commercial charging infrastructure
Model availability
The economic advantage for businesses and individuals is massive cost savings for maintenance and fueling, demonstrated by the veteran-owned family business K2 Taxi in Grand Junction, Colorado. By converting over half their fleet to EVs, K2 Taxi has been able to provide full employment with benefits, including healthcare and paid time off, to workers who would otherwise be contractors. While infrastructure and model availability pose challenges to mass EV adoption, it’s clear that the future of transportation in Colorado is electrified.
