Press Release, 16 January 2025
The Zero Emission Transportation Association (ZETA) released its 2025 Policy Platform to support electric vehicle adoption, build a robust domestic supply chain, and create American jobs. Built on four pillars supporting all elements of the EV value chain, ZETA’s Policy Platform will reinforce the industry’s continued strong domestic growth.
“America’s electric vehicle industry has created jobs and empowered economic growth in every corner of the country,” said Albert Gore, Executive Director of ZETA. “Through the four pillars of our policy platform, we can maintain the momentum created by the EV industry while reinforcing our robust and reliable supply chains right here at home. From maintaining our global competitiveness and strengthening our hardrock mineral development to charging infrastructure deployment and EV battery safety, we stand ready to work with the incoming Administration and all members of Congress to ensure that the EV industry is built by American workers in American factories.”
Developed in close collaboration with ZETA’s member companies representing the entire EV supply chain, the 2025 Policy Platform will guide the Association’s engagement with Congress and the Administration in the coming year.
