Seminar: Approaches to Community-Centered Tribal Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Expansion
Transportation electrification supports climate goals but can worsen existing inequities without meaningful community input and institutional change. The electric vehicle charging infrastructure (EVCI) needs of tribal communities remain underexplored, despite their sovereignty and distinct cultural and geographic contexts. Existing research often approaches EVCI from single disciplines and lacks the cross-boundary integration needed for effective planning in tribal settings. Expanding EVCI requires collaboration between Tribal governments and community members, balancing technical considerations with lived realities, decision-making processes, and principles of energy sovereignty.
This study, part of a broader project in partnership with the Tulalip Tribes, developed a community-centered, data-driven scalable mapping tool (SMT) to support EVCI planning. Drawing on energy sovereignty and sociotechnical capacity…
