Position Summary:
NRDC is seeking an Electric Vehicle Advocate to work with the Clean Vehicles and Fuels Project of the Climate and Clean Energy Program in our Chicago office. This position will help fulfill NRDC's priority to reduce carbon pollution. The vast U.S. vehicle fleet must run primarily on clean electricity by 2050 to reach long term pollution reduction targets. This requires a rapid ramp-up of electric vehicle sales now and in the coming decades to turn over the on-road fleet. This position will focus on accelerating electric vehicle adoption and transportation electrification more broadly in Midwestern states by advancing needed state policies. Policy focus areas include electric utility programs to set appropriate vehicle charging rates, deploy needed infrastructure and conduct customer outreach; vehicle purchase incentives; and clean vehicle standards.
