<div style="font-family:'arial','verdana'">
<strong>WASHINGTON (Oct. 27, 2023)</strong> – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) launched “My Electric Ride: An EV Transportation Video Challenge,” an exciting prize competition that encourages people to share their personal experiences with electric transportation. The challenge aims to showcase real-world experiences of those who use electrified transportation in everyday life and help inform the public about more sustainable transportation. Interested participants are asked to submit a short (1- to 2-minute) video for a chance to win up to $3,000.
</div>
<div style="font-family:'arial','verdana'">
</div>
<div style="font-family:'arial','verdana'">
Participants can submit videos in one of three categories:
</div>
<div style="font-family:'arial','verdana'">
• <strong>Personal Mobility</strong>: Electric 2- and 3-wheel personal mobility devices such as e-bikes, e-trikes, e-scooters, or e-cargo bikes.
</div>
<div style="font-family:'arial','verdana'">
• <strong>Electric Vehicles</strong>: Electric vehicles such as cars, trucks, or SUVs.
</div>
<div style="font-family:'arial','verdana'">
•<strong> Electric Buses</strong>: Electric buses such as school buses, shuttle buses, or transit buses.
</div>
<div style="font-family:'arial','verdana'">
</div>
<div style="font-family:'arial','verdana'">
The videos will be judged on their creativity, originality, and effectiveness in conveying the positive aspects of electric transportation. EPA will select up to nine winning videos, with each of the three categories having a first, second, and third place winner. Selected videos may be featured on EPA's website and social media channels.
</div>
<div style="font-family:'arial','verdana'">

<strong>Background</strong>
</div>
<div style="font-family:'arial','verdana'">
The transportation sector is currently the largest contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the U.S. Electrifying transportation is key to a more sustainable future by moving people and goods more efficiently. With their increased energy efficiency and zero tailpipe emissions, electric vehicles (including battery electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles) can help improve air quality in communities and lower total GHG emissions.
