Albert Gore Named New Executive Director of the Zero Emission Transportation Association

The Zero Emission Transportation Association (ZETA) announced that Albert Gore took over as Executive Director effective January 3, 2023. Gore joins ZETA after seven years at Tesla, most recently as the Lead for Public Policy and Business Development in the Eastern and Midwestern United States—having previously been Deputy Director of Policy and Electricity Markets at SolarCity prior to its acquisition by the company. Joe Britton, ZETA's previous Executive Director, will remain President of ZETA's Board of Directors.

"The past two years have been a whirlwind for ZETA and transportation electrification," said Joe Britton. "Much of the conversation around EVs over the next few years will focus on implementation and deployment following the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Albert's experience, policy acumen, and leadership abilities will help ZETA enter into a new frontier as we support the implementation of these landmark bills."

"Joe and the ZETA team have accomplished a lot in the last two years, and I am excited to work with such a committed and knowledgeable group," said Albert Gore. "It is a thrilling time for the electric vehicle industry. Landmark investments up and down the supply chain will make EVs more accessible for American families and create thousands of jobs throughout the country. My priority will be to work closely with ZETA members and policymakers as this transformational consumer and industrial policy is implemented. Our goal is to ensure that the transition to the future of transportation benefits all Americans."
