The higher purchase prices of EVs put them out of reach for lower-income car buyers. The state of Colorado is trying to address this issue with a new program that offers rebates to qualifying residents. The Vehicle Exchange Colorado (VXC) program, which is scheduled to launch in August, is designed to help income-qualified residents replace their old or high-emitting vehicles with EVs by partially covering the up-front cost.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
