Through programs like the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program (EVIP), MEA is able to help promote clean, efficient transportation by allocating funds to Electric Re-Charging Infrastructure (ECI). In addition, MEA works with commercial shipping fleets to increase the use of alternative fuels, accelerate sales of hybrid vehicles, and more. To learn more:​
