Eilat, Israel, is committed to reaching net zero emissions by 2030. To help reduce its transportation emissions, we evaluated Eilat’s current charging network and designed an expansion to accommodate additional electric vehicles. We provided a deployment plan and a cost estimation to assist in implementation. We calculated Eilat’s current transportation emissions to understand how they will change by 2030. We found that the implementation of this expansion should result in greater EV use and reduced transportation emissions.
