We are happy to announce Mary Nichols has joined the Veloz board of directors. Prior to her retirement from the California Air Resources Board where she was the longest-serving head of the organization and where she gained the nickname “Queen of Green,” Mary was instrumental in the inception of Veloz and previously served as the Veloz public policy board chair.

“Veloz has always been a leader in transportation electrification even prior to the tremendous public and private sector support that we are seeing now. We have more to do to reach our goal of 100% zero emission transportation, which is why I am so pleased to continue working closely with this unique organization that’s bringing together public and private sector experts to accelerate an Electric For All reality faster.”
