it's electric

Coming soon to your neigh-bor-hood! JP Dorchester Charlestown South Boston East Boston Roxbury “Our city’s climate commitment is supported by making it easier for our residents to make choices that are better for our environment. We are eager to bring more it’s electric chargers to our curbs in the coming years.” -Mayor Michelle Wu

it's electric is incredibly proud to announce that our model for curbside public EV charging has been selected by The Chicago Athenaeum Museum for Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies the prestigious 2025 Green GOOD DESIGN Award. The Good Design program was founded in Chicago in 1950 by #EeroSarrinen and #CharlesandRayEames and remains the oldest and most important design awards program worldwide. We’re honored to be in this sphere of human centered, iconic design with our partners at Billings Jackson Studio & Small Stuff. With thanks to our nominators at WXY! #GreenGOODDESIGNAward

Get it, Roslindale! The City of Boston and it's electric has cut the ribbon on the country's first behind-the-meter public curbside charger. As buildings and transportation make up nearly all of Boston's carbon emissions, Boston's commitment to ensuring every household is within a five-minute walk of a public EV charging station is part of its wider Climate Action Plan to become completely carbon neutral by 2050. It was through Boston’s leadership, namely Matt Warfield, Oliver Sellers-Garcia, Judith G., Shin-pei Tsay, Jascha Franklin-Hodge, Brian Swett, Tiffany Chu, Enrique J. Pepén and this collective’s unwavering acknowledgement that climate health is human health; that has made this possible. It is incredibly meaningful to be able to call Boston it’s electric’s first city. (oh and …. Jamaica Plain, you’re up next!)

At long last… excited to announce our line-up for the next Climate Salon!

February 6, 2025 Alongside hundreds of industry leaders, it's electric called on #Congress to ensure the U.S. can meet its growing energy demands—while keeping costs low and creating jobs in every corner of the country. At a time when energy security is more important than ever, it’s critical Congress maintains policies that provide business certainty, foster economic growth, and support low-cost energy innovation.

SAE J3400 NACS EV TIR (ICYMI) TLDR: It also includes a provision for a #detachable charging cable This Wednesday join Tiya Gordon and Nathan L. King at SAE International's fourth annual conference, Power Up!  We're going deep to explore instances where EV charging standards and policies support ... or run cross purpose to widespread access to urban charging infrastructure, including SAE J3400 and NEVI standards. https://lnkd.in/eGH5RYgU

🎉 For a second year in a row we've been named a Top Innovator in #TransportationElectrification by Darcy Partners! Based on Darcy's unique data set – combined with analysis on investments and market traction – we're honored to share this title with colleagues at 👏  Synop, 👏  Flipturn (and so many others) working tirelessly to ensure a clean transportation future.

We're thrilled to work with The City of Portland and our partners Forth Mobility, it's electric, Lime and Portland State University to bring charging for personal electric vehicles (EVs) and shared-use electric fleets via Zipcar, e-scooters and e-bikes. These hubs will make it easier for Portlanders, especially those who cannot charge at home, to access shared electric charging and transportation options. https://lnkd.in/ec-Hyrpz

Friday can’t stop, won’t stop post! it's electric was awarded a staggering 3 of the 10 Communities Taking Charge Funding Awards as a sub-recipient “Solving for “No-Home Charging.” These awards are administered by the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Award #1: Working with WXY (who wrote the bible for curbside charging) to develop permitting pathways to help cities easily achieve charging in the public right of way here in NYC and beyond. ($1.5M) Award #2: Working with the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI) and our friends at Automotus, Cityfi and ChargerHelp! to launch LACI’s second City Climate Innovation Challenge to expand charging options in up to 9 cities. ($3M) Award #3:  Working with the City of Portland, Zipcar, Lime, and Forth to pilot E-mobility hubs, making it easier for Portlanders who cannot charge at home to have access to convenient and affordable overnight charging for personal vehicles (or shared Zipcars!) ($1.7M) Let’s go. Let’s GO. LET’S GO!

Hey D.C.! We like your curbs (your buildings too!) it's electric has been awarded $2.2M to deploy CURBSIDE charging in partnership with the Department of Energy & Environment (DOEE) as part of their incredible $15M in federal funding to dramatically expand the District's public EV charging infrastructure. Live in D.C.? Own a home or building in Wards 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8? Sign up for a free curbside charger that earns you revenue. www.itselectric.us/join A note: Our hearts are with Los Angeles. While it’s long been established that climate change vastly impacts wildfires, we continue to witness in real time the human suffering and displacement that results. Climate action is needed at a speed that is daunting and the transportation sector is one of the largest contributors to U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. We need more bikes, more public transit and more shared transportation. We also need everything to be electric. We are grateful for this funding from the Biden-Harris Administration’s #BipartisanInfrastructureLaw that supports President Biden’s goal to build a network of 500,000 publicly available #EVchargers – a goal the Federal Highway Administration is on track to accomplish years early. And not a moment too soon.
