With Federal EV Incentives Vanishing, State EV Incentives Must Get Smarter
State EV programs must deliver greater gasoline displacement and household savings per dollar spent. The solution: focus outreach and spending on high-gasoline users who will see the greatest fuel savings.
Coltura is a nonprofit on a mission to accelerate America’s transition beyond gasoline.
We use cutting-edge data, policy advocacy, and creative storytelling to drive the fuel switch to cleaner, cheaper, local electricity.
By focusing on people who use the most gasoline (“Gasoline Superusers”) and the communities most burdened by fuel costs, we create solutions that cut pollution faster and share the benefits of clean transportation with everyone.
Groundbreaking Research & Analysis
Coltura’s data-driven reports shed light on who uses the most gasoline, who is most burdened by gasoline costs, and how we can transition to a cleaner future faster.
Fueling Inequality
Fuel costs average 15% of income for 4 million Black & Latino families. See how equitable EV access can save them on average $4,900 a year.

CALCULATE SAVINGSTurning Research Into Real Change
Coltura’s advocacy, partnerships, and data are accelerating the shift away from gasoline. Here are some milestones showing how Coltura is making a gasoline-free future a reality:
WASHINGTON’S 2030 GAS-CAR PHASEOUT LAW
Coltura led the coalition that made Washington the first state to pass a law phasing out new gas cars by 2030—the most aggressive clean-car target in the nation.
TARGETED EV INCENTIVES IN CALIFORNIA
The California legislature unanimously approved a program to help lower-income, high-mileage drivers replace old gas cars with EVs—modeled on Coltura’s superuser research.
INNOVATIVE CITY PROGRAMS
Coltura’s data spurred Vermont’s first-in-nation superuser EV incentive: extra rebates for extreme gasoline users switching to EVs. One superuser switching to an EV cuts emissions as much as five average drivers.
