Sustainable Inclusive Supply Chain for the
Electric Vehicle Industry in Illinois
There has been an extraordinary growth in the electric vehicle (EV)
industry in the past fifteen years. It offers a cleaner mode of transportation through the
elimination of carbon dioxide and other undesirable emissions and reduces the dependence on
fossil fuels thus aiding national energy security. For these reasons, federal and state
governments are promoting the adoption of EVs by providing incentives to consumers and
manufacturers. This project will review the current status of EVs and EV manufacturing, with
emphasis on the state of Illinois. We will present information gathered through literature
review, surveys, and interviews.
This work was carried out using a grant from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign through the Illinois
Innovation Network (Sustaining Illinois Supplemental Funding Proposal), given to the Urban
Transportation Center at University of Illinois Chicago and Supply Chain Innovation Center and Business
Incubator at Governors State University.
