 * Electric vehicles create a more diverse transportation infrastructure, providing greater flexibility to deal with shocks in the fuel-supply system.

+* Based on an economic assessment of the impacts if 45% of the light duty vehicle fleet in California was converted to plug-in electric vehicles, by 2030 <ref>Plug in Electric Vehicle Deployment in California, An Economic Assesstment, David Roland-Holst, September 2012 </ref>:
 ** Light-duty vehicle electrification can be a potent catalyst for economic growth, contributing up to 100,000 additional jobs by 2030.
 ** On average, a dollar saved at the gas pump and spent on the other goods and services that households want creates 16 times more jobs.
 ** Unlike the fossil fuel supply chain, the majority of new demand financed by PEV fuel cost savings goes to in-state services, a source of diverse, bedrock jobs that are less likely to be outsourced.
 ** Individual Californians gain from economic growth associated with fuel cost savings due to vehicle electrification, whether they buy a new car or not. As a result of light-duty vehicle electrification, the average real wages and employment increase across the economy and incomes grow faster for low-income groups than for high-income groups.
-Fuel costs are driving higher business expenses.  Brent, a small business owner, who runs an air conditioning repair business in Albuquerque, New Mexico, typifies these rising costs.  Since 2006, he's laid off 12 employees, and is now down to just himself and one employee. Together, they're spending $1,200 a month on gasoline to get to jobs in a relatively new cargo van, and a truck that averages about 10 mpg. Behind payroll and insurances, gas has become his third-largest expense. (7)

 * Cleaner Air
 * Electricity in Washington is produced mostly by clean, renewable sources – hydropower, wind and solar - which DO NOT produce carbon emissions, smog, or contribute to global warming. In Washington, the fossil fuel transportation system produces 45% of the CO2 and 45% of the water pollution [source?].  Electric vehicles produce zero of these tailpipe pollutants.
-* The American Lung Association states, “smog and fine particle emissions generated by the combustion of petroleum fuels cause immediate and lifelong respiratory impacts. Greenhouse gases emitted today will continue to threaten respiratory health for generations to come.” (10)

 After 100 years of being bombarded with advertising targeted at selling us gasoline-powered vehicles, we must make a radical shift in our thinking to understand a change similar to what our great-great grandparents had to do to shift from the horse-drawn carriage to the horseless carriage. Financial investment anaylsts assessing the potential of the current electric vehicle manufacturers' technology refer to the renewed electric vehicles now available as a disruptive technology because it has the potential of impacting society in the same way microcomputer technology has changed the way we live.
 Seattle Electric Vehicle Association members have been preparing the way for the wide-spread adoption of electric vehicles for more than 30 years.
