Charlotte has been selected as the only southeastern city to pilot the Affordable Mobility Platform (AMP), a federally-backed EV car-sharing program targeting affordable housing complexes. SACE is managing the project and advocating for equity-centered electric transportation policies. The pilot will deploy 10 shared electric vehicles across five neighborhoods starting July 2023, with charging infrastructure available for both the program and community use.

With Governor Cooper's administration's focus on the rapid and equitable shift to electric transportation, this innovative project will serve as a model for wider-scale EV sharing in underserved communities across (North Carolina). The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy has been advocating for centering equity in state electric transportation policies, plans, and programs. We are excited to roll up our sleeves with our partners and help get it done.
