The Florida Public Service Commission approved a Florida Power & Light pilot program to add electric-vehicle charging stations and an FPL plan offering bill credits to small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Southern Alliance for…
“With the second largest electric vehicle market in the country, Florida benefits in multiple ways from clean cars, buses and trucks. To continue the growth, we need strong policies so more Floridians can enjoy lower ownership costs and save billions from avoided healthcare costs while reducing the greenhouse gas pollution driving harmful climate impacts.”
“The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy examined this question — whether electric vehicles could address any perceived need to expand drilling to areas currently protected, like the Eastern Gulf of Mexico. We calculated that adding as few as four million electric vehicles would offset what gasoline might be produced by drilling in the Eastern Gulf.”
Gulfport City Council held a meeting where Dory Larson, electric vehicle program coordinator for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, presented on the availability and benefits of electric vehicles. Councilmember April Thanos has been advocating for…

“One of the great things is that the VW settlement is required to be dispersed across the state because VWs that were illegally polluting were scattered across the state. So unlike other grant programs to date, this one has distributed grants widely, and that's having an impact.”
“It's very much an American story that we hear over and over again: making sure our workers, and the families and communities we serve, can actually afford these vehicles.”
Florida regulators approved a Florida Power & Light pilot program to add electric-vehicle charging stations, with the utility owning fast-charging stations and charging 30 cents per kilowatt hour. The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy was among…
“We have to pick up the pace because climate change isn't slowing down”

“Diesel emissions are a leading cause of air pollution-related diseases that impact low-income communities of color first and worst.”
