EVHybridNoire

Evhybridnoire is the nation's largest network of diverse ev drivers and enthusiasts. We have over 6,000, members with close to 30 chapters across the united states, canada, europe, africa, asia, and the caribbean. During the last year, we grew our membership by 25%. We also have several thousand additional members who prefer not to be active on social media. During 2023, we received 45 media hits and provided thought leadership at 100+ scientific panels / presentations. We worked across the federal administration to inform their strategic priorities and to accelerate equitable, multimodal clean transportation and clean energy initiatives. Our team and members provided expert testimony for the epa, the american lung association, the department of energy, the department of transportation, the white house, the congressional black caucus annual legislative conference, the congressional hispanic caucus annual legislative conference, and the house of representatives and senate. In addition, during our annual national e-mobility dei conference, our team provided thought leadership to more than 1600+ attendees from across the globe during the two-day conference. Evhybridnoire 1) engages with communities often left out of e-mobility discussions, 2) advocates for e- mobility solutions that benefit under-resourced communities, and 3) shifts the narrative about emobility to be more inclusive of diverse populations. Our work spans many aspects of e-mobility and equity, including climate justice, workforce development,public health, multimodal mobility, and creative financing of e-mobility solutions. Tactically, our work involves the following: 1) grassroots outreach: we engage communities impacted worst and first by climate change and air pollution to raise awareness of e-mobility's benefits. 2) decision-maker education: we meet with elected officials and regulators,to ensure they are aware of the diverse support for e-mobility solutions, and that e-mobility policies incorporate elements of diversity equity, and are inclusive 3) media outreach & marketing campaigns: via op-eds and earned media coverage, our story can strengthen narratives about the broad appeal of evs. 4) speaking engagements & opinion leader events: our team are sought-after thought leaders in e-mobility and environmental equity who are invited to speak at over 100+ events every year, and we also work with partners to set up in person and online events of our own. 5) research: our extensive research documents the public health impacts of air pollution and explores which e-mobility options make the most sense for local communities.
