Electrify America & Sac-to-Zero

Measuring the Impact of EV

Electrify America, LLC, was formed to be a catalyst for promoting Zero-Emission Vehicle (ZEV) adoption by offering transformative, customer-centric infrastructure and energy management solutions. Electrify America, a Volkswagen company, was established as part of Volkswagen’s emissions settlement with the U.S. and California. The settlement requires regular reporting to the California Air Resources Board and approval to proceed with additional investments. JSR supported Electrify America through the impact reporting process.

JSR Strategies brilliantly takes EV topics and distills them down into everyday terms that anyone can understand. Being able to speak EV 101 to someone who is looking to make the switch is imperative, and this team has the proven ability to do so effectively.

Driving in a New Era of EV Mobility in Sacramento

In 2021, Electrify America (EA) turned to the original members of JSR team that launched the Sac-to-Zero initiative in 2018 and executed the reporting requirements to the California Air Resources Board. After analyzing assets and content, the owned and shared communication channels available and the client’s expressed needs, JSR began work on the tactics necessary to launch an all-digital campaign to effectively engage the community and Sac-to-Zero stakeholders.

In a two-week period, JSR successfully planned, produced and launched a full campaign that included six assets and outreach to partner organizations. This was our ambitious timeline:
