Electric Vehicles Grow in the Desert: Peer Learning Helps Sedona Plan for Charging InfrastructureClean Energy to Communities Cohort
Clean Energy to Communities Cohort Participation Advances Electric Vehicle Infrastructure in Sedona, Arizona
Tourism is not the only reason Sedona needs more robust charging infrastructure. The city’s Climate Action Plan, adopted in 2021, set a goal to cut Sedona’s greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030. That plan includes transitioning all passenger vehicles in the city-operated fleet to zero-emissions vehicles.
Sedona’s participation in the cohort gave the city new ideas about how to update its code to support EV infrastructure needs. One-on-one technical assistance with experts helped facilitate deeper discussion of potential updates for their municipal codes and provided guidance for implementing Sedona’s current EV building code, which requires 5% EV-capable parking spaces at new commercial developments.
Pam Adams, sustainability planner for the Centre Region Council of Governments in Pennsylvania who also participated in the cohort, saw her connections grow because of the cohort, too.
