Electric Vehicles Map
A significant part of Rhode Island's work to combat climate change includes promoting and tracking the use of electric vehicles (EVs). Since EVs are powered by electricity, a cleaner energy source than gasoline, they produce no harmful tail-pipe pollutants. This is good news for our health; better air quality leads to fewer health problems caused by air pollution.
