Vermont’s Agency of Transportation has selected the nonprofit Center for Sustainable Energy (CSE) to develop and administer a suite of clean transportation incentive programs for state residents.
Vermont is the seventh state to select CSE to manage a clean transportation incentive program. CSE’s role encompasses program design, incentive management, customer support, dealer education and creating online platforms.
The new programs, authorized by the 2021 Vermont Transportation Bill (Act 55):
“Our mission is to help government agencies at all levels to achieve their goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation and provide a healthier environment for their constituents,” said Mark Bielecki, CSE Senior Director of Transportation Programs. “We are eager to make it easier for Vermonters to switch to electric vehicles and other modes of clean transportation.”
Information on current EV incentives in the state is available at Drive Electric Vermont.

EVs are playing an increasingly important role in the transition to a net-zero emissions world and are expected to comprise at least two-thirds of global car sales by 2040.

The current grid structure and limitations will put the brakes on the EV revolution but there are solutions that turn the current grid challenges into grid assets.
The new ADS-TEC Energy research, conducted in conjunction with engineering services firm SAI Group, looks at how patented, battery-buffered charging technology enables charging operators to cost-effectively scale the charging infrastructure that underpins an all electric-vehicle world.
