Valley ZEV Mobility Project, a $1.9 million California pilot program that gave 4 EV fleet vehicles and charging infrastructure to rural agricultural communities by creating green rideshare to grocery stores and medical appointments.
The pilot lasted 4 months and vanished during COVID. The EVs were transferred to Los Angeles and never returned. The 9 charging stations had no entity responsible for maintaining the chargers. Successful rural EV programs in California say the flaw in this program was that it was a private for profit company running the program from 300 miles away.
