Are we ready for the r-EV-olution? 💡 Is there a bright, solar powered, future for EVs? — 68% of auto buyers indicate they will be ready for an EV by 2035 (48% say 2030) Of the 2030 crowd, 56% Gen Zs, 45% Millennials, 36% Gen Xers, 28% Boomers… ❓What’s holding people back from embracing the r-EV-olution! Consumers want answers to a number of concerns: — distance on a single charge (38%) — initial (up-front) cost (30%) — recharging time (28%) — home charging installation/cost (25%) 📈📉 Dealers have their work cut out for them! The role of dealers in educating consumers and instilling confidence in the transition to EVs is crucial. To effectively address consumer concerns, dealers need to be strategic & leverage data, namely: 📊 Targeting Potential Buyers — By collaborating with data-driven companies, dealers can utilize rich historical sales data, demographics, and machine learning to make accurate predictions about potential buyers. 📊 Localized Demand Forecasting — Dealers can tailor inventories and marketing efforts by informing their strategies with localized demand forecasts. By focusing on these areas, dealers can play a pivotal role in overcoming the barriers to EV adoption and fostering a smoother transition for consumers. —— The Harris Poll x Urban Science x WardsAuto

In 2023, BlocPower proudly partnered with Dollaride to bring clean and accessible transportation to Brownsville, Brooklyn! Through our collaborative efforts, we installed three electric vehicle chargers at New Life Cathedral, a cornerstone of the community since 1979. This project is a major step forward, thanks to the dedicated support of Elemental Excelerator, NYSERDA and Con Edison — together, we're driving innovation and sustainability in underserved communities.

When you're in the transportation business, deciding to 'go electric' can feel risky. Our friend Winston Williams, owner of Blackstreet Van Lines, was curious about the benefits...but very apprehensive about the process. For 6+ months, we worked closely with Winston to understand his needs and limitations as a small business owner. Then we developed an electrification process that was affordable and right-sized for him. I thank Winston because he's not only a Dollaride customer - he's a pioneer and leader in his community. Thousands of "dollar van" drivers and small fleet owners in NYC will be following Winston's lead. So it was important to gain his trust, and see the process through his eyes. I think this documentary shows a glimpse of that. Can't wait to show more in episode #2 😉 #cleantransportation
