.@Arapahoe_Basin ski area in Colorado has deployed an electric snowcat for testing! If it moves, we can probably electrify it -- cutting pollution, saving money (and having fun!) Great work, A-basin!! https://t.co/HcUQaXhw1R
The timing is perfect, as this complements last month's adoption of Advanced Clean Truck standards, helping manufacturers comply with the new requirements. https://t.co/sZOBsyimoR (7/n)
For MHD trucks – raises the state credit to $12,000 for the next few years, then phases down to $4,000 for MD, $8,000 for HD through 2032. These are stackable with IRA commercial vehicle credits (up to $40,000) and with state clean fleet grants. https://t.co/io7Uk50J1C (6/n)
The EV credits are assignable to the auto dealers or financing agencies, so should be able to be taken at point of sale. And the legislation makes these credits stackable with utility rebates, federal credits, and new state low income program. https://t.co/qRt4XrMV00 (5/n)
One unique aspect – an additional $2500 for vehicles with MSRP under $35,000, to support low and moderate income adoption and encourage smaller EVs. @schmangee@DavidZipper (4/n)
EVs – the bill ramps up the credit for the next few years, during the period that most models don’t qualify for federal credits. Our credit goes to $5,000 on 7/1, then slowly phases out through 2028. (3/n)
A summary of Colorado’s 2023 Electric Vehicle Plan was released today! The plan could create more jobs and put more electric vehicles on the road if it fully embraces Advanced Clean Cars through 2035.

Electric school buses are healthier for kids and our environment 🌱 This morning, @GovofCO and local kids from #AuroraPublicSchools lined up next to one of their ⭐️7 electric school buses⭐️ at an event highlighting funding from @EPA and @CDPHE 💰
Colorado’s Roaring Fork Valley (home of Aspen) has high-functioning rapid transit and protected bikeways connecting half a dozen small towns across 40 miles and it seems not a coincidence the place is considered to be so singular
V disappointed about this. The # of new MFH developments that I see putting in 2 plugs for every 50-100 parking spaces and little to no conduit / future-proofing is alarming.
And I'm talking affluent, supposedly climate-conscious communities like my hometown of Carbondale!
Colorado has ambitious EV goals and we know most people will charge EVs at home -- but how? A bill that would've expanded access to charging, esp critical for multifamily housing, was vetoed this week.

Still a few slots left to test drive a #Polestar2 tomorrow with @VailGov! I had to reluctantly cancel, but jealous of everyone that can make it.
