There is a direct correlation between higher air pollution and the increase of viruses like COVID-19 through air particulates*. This is worsened in poorer, underserved communities that cannot afford cleaner transportation options, and where people tend to use older vehicles longer.

Although the pandemic has slowed down our progress to purchase vehicles, Go Electric is still hard at work developing our future services that will help reduce the amount of older vehicles on the road and cut down on pollution, which can have a direct impact on lowering risks of viruses such as COVID-19. Our model offers clean and safe transportation to the communities most vulnerable to disease, crime, and economic hardships.

First responders and essential workers shouldn't have to drive after working long hours. Go Electric (once we are services are available) will be able to safely transport staff to and from work during times of crisis.

In the near future, byy delivering supplies, personnel, and helping communities in need of services using EVs, Go Electric plans to address all these areas:

• A 501c3 charity that offers services to those most in need
• Offering incentives when people contribute
• Unique position to respond when the need arises (transporting supplies and people to communities hit by disasters, while helping alleviate climate change problems caused by gas vehicles)
