Electric Vehicles in Underserved Markets (EVUM) helps clear the air by reducing diesel pollution. EVUM supports electric vehicle adoption, installs charging stations, and raises community awareness about these resources. The program also helps small businesses and rural cities in Missouri and Kansas accelerate their transition to cleaner, more efficient transportation.
EVUM helps place EV charging stations where they’re needed most—underserved and rural areas that bear the brunt of pollution. Diesel emissions from heavy trucks and off-road machinery are linked to asthma, chronic illness, missed work and school, and even premature deaths. By tackling these health and social impacts, EVUM works to protect the very communities MEC serves.
