Electric Black Futures (EBF) is a transformative project that empowers Black communities to shape their electric mobility future.

Over the next three years, Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, EVNoire, Clean Cities Georgia, and a host of local partners will utilize Department of Energy funding to ensure Black communities within three Georgia cities – Albany, Atlanta, and Savannah – are actively engaged and empowered to create and deploy equitable, accessible, electric mobility initiatives and inform and support deployment of electric transportation-related BIL and IRA funds in line with Justice40 guidelines.

EBF will work closely with communities in Albany, Savannah, and Atlanta to generate future-building coalitions focused on bridging e-mobility workforce and leadership opportunities. Our objective is to strategize and document equitable and innovative transportation systems in these dynamic geographies, and better connect Justice40 benefits to community leaders eager to lead technological developments in their areas.

Electric Black Futures is a three-year, DOE-funded project to generate and sustain pathways for Black communities to be actively engaged and empowered in building their ideal electric mobility future. Through the combination of community-based participatory research and the artistic activism of Afrofuturism, the vision of Electric Black Futures is to construct space for Black communities to imagine their ideal clean energy future and create opportunities to turn these future visions into actionable strategies and transformative change.

This project's outcome prioritizes that Black communities in these three cities are actively connected and informed to create and establish equitable, accessible, electric mobility initiatives and that electric mobility investments from federal programs such as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) can deliver what communities need and desire.
