💡 A new study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that public EV charging stations are boosting nearby businesses, particularly those in underserved areas. https://lnkd.in/gAPbaGyB

ZETA Member⚡️ Beam Global just introduced its new streetlight charging system. The BeamSpot does not require new or upgraded grid circuits and implements wind and solar technology. https://lnkd.in/ekAewMQq

⚡️🚌 Great to see all-electric buses at Zion National Park! The new fleet handled approximately 97,000 visitors to the park this past Labor Day Weekend. We love to see it National Park Service! https://lnkd.in/eUtyQGxu

🔋 New projections from Argonne National Laboratory show that battery cell production in North America will exceed 1,200 GWh of capacity by 2030. Enough to produce as many as 15 million EVs per year! https://lnkd.in/gsVUF2Jj

⚡️🚌 You might notice more electric school buses on the road this year. As your kids head back to the classroom, here’s more on how these buses are benefiting our kids. https://lnkd.in/dK-JHCNt

Arizona’s EV infrastructure projects and investments are interconnected - working together to establish a robust, domestic supply chain and secure American manufacturing leadership and national security. As a critical part of that supply chain and proud member of the Zero Emission Transportation Association (ZETA), KORE Power was honored to sponsor and participate in the “Made in Arizona: The EV Supply Chain” convening earlier this month. During the two-day event, we saw first-hand copper mining being brought back at Arizona Sonoran Copper’s Cactus Mine in Casa Grande and toured Lucid Motors state-of-the-art EV manufacturing facility. We heard from state and local officials on the work they are doing to support these historic investments and the new well-paying jobs in their communities. During the industry stakeholders panel, we also heard from battery recycler, Li-Cycle, utility partners, and others, on the strides being made to establish the circular economy; and I shared on KORE Power’s approach to leadership in building the battery manufacturing facility that will create advanced energy technologies even beyond EVs, helping to modernize the nation’s electric grid, while moving the U.S. automotive industry forward. This work takes all hands and in Arizona, the future of zero emission transportation is already here. Thank you to ZETA for a successful state convening and the many staff and partners that made it happen! #EV #battery #domesticsupplychain

Happy Labor Day from ZETA⚡️!

🔌 Approximately 1,000 new public EV chargers are installed each week, and the total number of public chargers has nearly doubled since 2021! https://lnkd.in/eKCtFxjw

Earlier this month, the Zero Emission Transportation Association headed to Arizona for a two-day event highlighting significant investments the #EV #supply #chain has made across the state. Day one included tours of Arizona Sonoran Copper Company's Cactus Mine Project and the Lucid Motors facility. Day two featured a fireside chat of local and state government representatives speaking about the current EV policy landscape and a panel of industry representatives discussing workforce development in AZ. Special shoutout to Daniel Seiden with the Arizona Chamber of Commerce & Industry and Ryan G. Ruiz, MBA, with the Arizona Commerce Authority, for your participation during day two's programming. This event brought together stakeholders from industry, academia, economic and workforce development, and all jurisdictions of government, to discuss how to sustain and improve upon these EV investments. I would be remiss if I didn't give recognition to the ZETA members who helped make this event a tremendous success: Salt River Project, Lucid Motors, KORE Power, Arizona Sonoran Copper Company Inc. (ASCU:TSX | ASCUF:OTCQX), GreenPower Motor Company Inc., Li-Cycle, ABB, and EVgo. Last but definitely not least, thank you to Rianna LeHane for being the best co-lead on this endeavor. I'm already looking forward to planning the next one with you. 😁
