With federal electric vehicle tax credits gone, a nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the transition from gas to EVs has spun off a new corporation to make the case for EVs to consumers.

Coltura said it created the new entity, EVQ, to emphasize the cost savings on fuel and maintenance of EVs directly in the marketplace, using “powerful new tools” designed to help nonprofits, governments and utilities “directly convert high gasoline users to EVs.”

In a news release, Coltura said it has partnered with nonpartisan nonprofit Veloz, to offer EVQ’s tools on its EV education website ElectricForAll.org. Veloz is currently running a national EV education campaign called Electric For All — The Way Forward Is Electric.

“With these new resources,” Veloz executive director Josh Boone said, “we’re giving drivers an interactive, trusted way to learn, stay informed and gain the confidence to make the move to electric.”

EVQ’s artificial intelligence-integrated tools include an EV savings calculator that estimates fuel and maintenance savings from switching to an EV based on the user’s zip code and annual mileage, a shopping site with local listings for new and used EVs. and an AI-powered chatbot that answers EV questions in multiple languages at a user-appropriate level as well as combating misinformation and helpings user find the right EV for their needs.

“Coltura will continue to put our data and mapping tools to work helping local and state governments and utilities target the most gasoline-burdened households with EV policies,” Coltura co-executive director Janelle London said. “But policymaking can be a slow process. So we are excited about EVQ’s potential to boost EVs directly in the marketplace.”
