Electric Vehicle Equity and Innovation: Evidence from AI and Patents
New
Can we use AI and data triangulation to provide evidence on the distributional equity of electric vehicle mobility innovation?
Our goal in this project is to change the narrative on electric vehicle (EV) adoption and diffusion from one of subsidizing car sales for advantaged communities to ensuring more equitable community access by focusing on infrastructure deployment. We will use data strategies to help address climate change by focusing on emissions reductions from the transportation sector.
