Houston is speeding ahead with initiatives to make electric vehicles (EVs) more accessible to all its residents, especially those in underserved neighborhoods. Houston Public Media reports that the nonprofit Evolve Houston is providing microgrants of up to $15,000 dedicated to bolstering EV infrastructure and educational campaigns. Casey Brown, the Executive Director of Evolve, emphasized the program’s goal to bring EV technology to all Houstonians, “Some of these areas that our eMobility microgrants focus on are areas that have not received a similar focus in EV infrastructure investments,” Brown said. Funded by bp America and General Motors, the program casts a wide net, accepting applications from individuals, nonprofits, and community-led groups with a deadline on December 1.
