Connecticut’s transportation sector is the largest source of statewide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, responsible for 38 percent.
In October of 2019, the Connecticut Department of ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION released a draft report titled “Electric Vehicle Roadmap for Connecticut” which has a goal of 500,000 EV’s in Connecticut by 2030. The 500,000-vehicle target is needed to meet Connecticut’s 2030 GHG reduction target.
