About Us
We are the premier hub and policy institution for global energy thought leadership. Energy impacts every element of our lives, and our trusted fact-based research informs the decisions that affect all of us.
The U.S. energy sector is rapidly changing. Renewable electricity costs continue to fall and technologies, from heat pumps to electric vehicles, are rapidly improving. These advances can help the U.S. move forward towards decarbonization. What does this mean for the legacy assets that face obsolescence? How should policymakers think about the stranded asset problem, whether from the electricity sector or oil and gas? How will we manage these assets in a way that is equitable, green, and cost-effective?
The Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP) at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs will host Dr. Catie Hausman, visiting faculty member at CGEP, associate professor at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, University of Michigan, and research associate at the National Bureau of Economics Research, for a fireside chat. Dr. Geoffrey Heal, Donald C. Waite III professor of social enterprise, and Paul Garrett, professor of public policy and corporate responsibility at Columbia Business School, will moderate.
Doors will open at 5:45 p.m. and the conversation will begin promptly at 6:00 p.m.
This event is open to the public and will be hosted in person in New York City.
Advance registration is required. Capacity is limited. The event will be recorded and the video recording will be added to our website following the event.
This event is open to press, and registration is required to attend. For media inquiries or requests for interviews, please contact Adam Kilduff ([email protected]).

Plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) are reshaping the transportation energy landscape, providing a practical alternative to petroleum fuels for a growing number of applications. EV sales grew 55× in the past decade (2014–2024) and 6× since 2020, driven by technological progress enabled by policies to reduce transportation emissions as well as industrial plans motivated by strategic value of EVs for global competitiveness, jobs and geopolitics. In 2024, 22% of passenger cars sold globally were EVs and opportunities for EVs beyond on-road applications are growing, including solutions to electrify off-road vehicles, maritime and aviation. This Review updates and expands our 2020 assessment of the scientific literature and describes the current status and future projections of EV markets, charging infrastructures, vehicle–grid integration and supply chains in the USA. EV is the lowest-emission motorized on-road transportation option, with life-cycle emissions decreasing as electricity emissions continue to decrease. Charging infrastructure grew in line with EV adoption but providing ubiquitous reliable and convenient charging remains a challenge. EVs are reducing electricity costs in several US markets and coordinated EV charging can improve grid resilience and reduce electricity costs for all consumers. The current trajectory of technology improvement and industrial investments points to continued acceleration of EVs. Electric vehicles are increasingly adopted in the USA, with concurrent expansion of charging infrastructure and electricity demand. This Review details these trends and discusses their drivers and broader implications.
