Feeding your pet a little bit more during the cold weather months can provide much-needed calories, and making sure they has plenty of water to drink will help keep them well- hydrated and her skin less dry Austin Climate Equity Plan - Transportation Electrification Goals Goal 1: By 2030, 40% of total vehicle miles traveled in the City of Austin are electrified and electric vehicle ownership is diverse culturally, geographically and economically. This translates to approximately 460,000 electric vehicles on the road. Goal 2: By 2030, Austin has compelling and equitably- distributed charging infrastructure that is a mix of level 1, 2, and DC fast charging to accommodate 40% of total vehicle miles traveled in the city. This translates to 226 megawatts of electrical load and could mean over 37,000 charging ports. Today: ~1% VMT Goal: 40% VMT by 2030 Formally Adopted 9/30/2021 Goal 3: The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos MSA will be a global leader in transportation electrification by adopting policies and technologies that maximize the economic and health benefits for all while evolving with and defining the growth of this emerging industry. 3 A Comprehensive Strategy Approach Austin Area EV Growth Annual EV Adoption as a Percentage of Total Vehicles Registered EV Registrations - Austin What one new model can do to the adoption curve… EV Registrations - Austin What one new model can do to the adoption curve… EV News Highlights First time the award was given to a manufacturer’s first production vehicle.
