The Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA) recognized
Miami-Dade County, Florida, as the 2024 North American E-Visionary
at the 37th Electric Vehicle Symposium & Exhibition (EVS37),
currently underway in Seoul, South Korea. EDTA is the Washington,
DC-based trade association representing the entire value chain of
electric drive technologies and infrastructure, including hybrid,
plug-in hybrid, battery, and fuel cell electric drive technologies.
The E-Visionary Award honors cities and regions worldwide that are
advancing electrification and working to realize the benefits of
electric mobility in their communities. As the North American
representative to the World Electric Vehicle Association (WEVA),
EDTA is a partner in the organization’s Electric Vehicle Symposium
(EVS) series, the longest-running international conference focused
on electric transportation and technologies.
EDTA President Genevieve Cullen praised Miami-Dade County’s
vision for e-mobility. “With programs like the EV Charging Program
and the city’s fleet electrification initiative,” Cullen said,
“Mayor Levine Cava is leading an outstanding effort to make
Miami-Dade County a more livable community and playing a vital part
in the global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”
On accepting the award, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine
Cava said, “Thank you to EDTA and the World Electric Vehicle
Association for naming Miami-Dade County as the 2024 North American
E-Visionary. Earning this global recognition for our commitment to
advancing electric vehicle transportation, equity, and
sustainability is a true honor. Transportation is the largest
contributor to pollution in our county, which is why we’re working
hard to meet the needs of the future by targeting a 50 percent
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and reaching net zero
by 2050.”
EVS37 is in Seoul, South Korea, and will run until April 26. For
