Vision

The future of transportation is electric for all.

Mission

Veloz is a unique public-private nonprofit driving toward 100% zero-emission vehicles through strategic communications, unprecedented collaborations and purposeful convening.

Theory of Change

Veloz’s theory of change illustrates a framework in which we deploy programs, projects and partnerships to drive specific and needed change and, from the very beginning of the organization, we have used this frame to guide, create and measure impact.

Our recently updated theory of change posits that transportation pollution threatens human health, our economy and the planet, demanding a fast transition to zero-emission vehicles — and the global multi-trillion dollar zero-emission vehicle market will deliver benefits for all.

Veloz is uniquely positioned to execute high-leverage opportunities to overcome the three most common barriers to zero-emission vehicle adoption: consumer awareness, upfront cost and charging infrastructure.

VALUES

ELECTRIC FOR ALL

We see a world in which all people and goods are moved by electricity and all people who want a vehicle can choose electric. We ask, ‘who isn’t here yet?’ and we open doors for them. We are dedicated to achieving equitable and inclusive access to zero-emission vehicles.

INSPIRED AMBITION

We are driven by the art of possible. When we come up with ideas, we ask, ‘how big can we go?’ We’re motivated by moonshots. We continually iterate to tackle the barriers to zero-emission vehicle adoption head-on, and we dream big.

LASER FOCUSED

What we do, we do well. We are discerning so we can demonstrate return on investment of our resources and stay focused on what we know will move our mission forward fastest.

HUMBLE EXPERT

We are curious. We ask questions. We are learners who seek continual improvement. We listen deeply, and we integrate what we learn into our strategies. We’re proud of our accomplishments.

WORLD-CLASS PARTNER

We know we can’t achieve the electric for all vision by ourselves. We don’t go-it alone. Ever. We seek partnership in the design and execution of all of our programs and campaigns. People know if they come to us, we will respect their point of view and expertise. We’re stronger together.
