The Zero Emission Transportation Association (ZETA) launched an interactive map that showcases the national economic impact of the United States’ growing domestic electric vehicle (EV) supply chain. The EV investment map uses publicly available data from private companies and overlays it on a map of the United States—displaying company names, business descriptions, locations, and jobs supported.
The Zero Emission Transportation Association (ZETA) is the first industry-backed coalition of its kind advocating for 100% of vehicles sold by 2030 to be electric vehicles (EVs). Achieving this goal will create hundreds of thousands of new jobs, secure American global EV manufacturing leadership, dramatically improve public health, and significantly reduce carbon pollution.
ZETA’s Policy Platform is a six-part strategy to create jobs in every congressional district, secure American global EV manufacturing leadership, improve public health, and reduce carbon pollution.
ZETA brings together industry, advocates, and nongovernmental organizations whose values and strategic interests are fulfilled by meeting the 2030 goal of every vehicle sold being an EV. This diverse group of EV supporters will coordinate on public education, stakeholder convening, and federal advocacy to promote EV adoption.
Enacting ambitious – but realistic – policies to accelerate transportation electrification will create hundreds of thousands of well-paying jobs. Congress must seize this opportunity or risk ceding this economic growth to others.
A Cleaner Environment
The transportation sector emits more carbon pollution than any other sector of the U.S. economy. Electric vehicles produce no tailpipe emissions and are 67% less carbon intensive than gasoline-powered cars over their lifetime.
Real Savings
By going electric, vehicles owners can save over $700 a year in fuel and an additional $330 in annual maintenance costs. Federal, state and local incentives can drive greater consumer benefits.

Strong emissions targets will protect public health and send powerful market signals to speed the transition to zero-emission modes of transportation.
Encourage Domestic Manufacturing
ZETA’s policy proposals promote production across the entire supply chain, from raw materials to manufacturing to battery recycling.
Light-Duty EV Consumer Adoption
Point-of-sale consumer incentives, along with early retirement and tax incentives, will accelerate the demand for light-duty electric vehicles.
Medium- and Heavy-Duty Electrification
New tax credits, retirement incentives, and targeted programs will further accelerate and drive demand for electric medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.
National Charging Initiative
A large-scale investment will create thousands of jobs, stimulate local economies, eliminate range anxiety, and pave the way for electrification.
Federal Leadership
Federal leadership can provide an aligned vision for electrification that empowers local leaders with the necessary expertise and resources.
