What if EV charging access was as common as water or electricity?

With an estimated need for 45,000 new EV chargers by 2030, the @atlantageorgia.bsky.social is working to make electric vehicle charging options just as accessible as other public utilities through its 2025 EV Readiness Ordinance.
October 22, 2025 at 1:45 PM
@atlantageorgia.bsky.social first passed legislation to improve access to EVs back in 2017. Now, thanks to the vision and leadership of people like @andreforatlanta.com and Chief Sustainability Officer Chandra Farley, its 2025 EV Readiness ordinance has made it the most EV friendly city in the US!
October 21, 2025 at 7:06 PM
Cities have incredible opportunities to pursue electrification solutions. As our 2025 Policy Innovation winner, the @cityofatlantaga.bsky.social is a perfect example of how local investment and policies can make electrification accessible for all.

Gradient's efficient and affordable window units help temper the impacts of extreme temperatures, especially in low-to-moderate income communities. And thanks to their partnership with NYCHA, 10,000 New Yorkers can comfortably stay in their homes without adding to utility costs or electric loads.

Electrification solutions can be sexy!

Although efficiency is key, design is just as important to ensuring a solution's adoption. Gradient's all-weather window unit is the perfect example of that. We were thrilled to recognize their design and work at the #ElectricInnovationAwards last month!
