The EPA’s COBRA tool allows local governments to understand the potential for clean energy to enhance air quality, health, and social well being; design program options that maximize benefits; build support for clean energy investments based on benefits; narrow policy options to those that should be evaluated using more sophisticated air quality models; present information about localized benefits; and support a balanced decision-making process that considers costs and benefits of policy options.

This tool evaluates the magnitude of emission reductions from local air pollution and carbon emissions and determine barriers to implementation of policies and projects. Presents a linear representation of the public transport system in a city that can help policy makers understand the various benefits of different policies.

The CURB tool from the World Bank allows cities to identify and prioritize low-carbon infrastructure and other greenhouse gas reduction actions; understand impact on emissions and financial performance of potential actions; compare multiple scenarios; and draw area-specific data to refine.

This tool provides a catalogued, customizable list of data, tools, and case studies on city-level energy actions to help local communities make more strategic energy decisions.

This tool calculates the number and economic value of air pollution-related deaths and illnesses. Incorporates a database that includes many of the concentration-response relationships, population files, and health and economic data needed to quantify these impacts.

This tool allows users to search for the nearest alternative fueling station by location, address and/or fuel type.

The AFDC Plug-In EV Handbook provides information on plug-in electric vehicles for a variety of users, particularly public charging station hosts. Answers basic questions about plug-in electric vehicles, charging stations, charging equipment, and considerations for relevant parties.

This tool assists public, fleet, and workplace site hosts evaluate the costs of installing and operating electric vehicle charging equipment.

The EV Charger Selection Guide assists site hosts in evaluating and comparing the features of electric vehicle charging equipment.

This tool compares fuel efficiency, costs, and CO2 emissions of light-duty vehicles by make and model or vehicle class.

This tool allows users to find and compare the availability of all classes of alternative fuel vehicles, including electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. The tool is searchable by vehicle type, manufacturer, and fuel requirements.

Beyond Tailpipe Emissions allows users to estimate the total greenhouse gas emissions for electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Provides information on greenhouse gas emissions associated with fuel production based on the year, make, and model of the vehicle.

The AFDC State Information Tool provides state-specific information about alternative fuels availability, overall vehicle emissions, laws and incentives, fueling stations, fuel prices, and more.

This tool provides a simple way to estimate how much Level 2 and DC fast charging may be required for a given number of vehicles at the city- and state-level.

ReEDS generates capacity planning model that reflects regional attributes of energy production and consumption.

The State Energy Analysis Tool table from Georgetown provides data about energy production, pollution, and regulation in U.S. states. Includes climate and energy maps containing different criteria such as renewable energy generation and carbon pollution rates.

This tool from Atlas Public Policy provides users with information regarding the financial performance of electric vehicle charging projects. Uses the discounted cash flow method in order to evaluate the financial performance, and can accommodate a variety of relevant business arrangements.

The Fleet Procurement Analysis Tool equips users with decision-relevant information on the financial viability and environmental impact of light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicle fleet procurements. Compares procurements side-by-side on a cost-per-mile basis and provides an analysis of cash flows and location-specific lifecycle emissions.

GREET evaluates energy use and emissions output for a variety of vehicle and fuel types and contains more specific tools such as the well-to-wheels calculator.

The Fuel Savings Calculator provides a comparison of fuel cost and savings for a selection of two vehicles listed on the Fuel Economy Guide website.

The AFLEET Heavy-Duty Vehicle Emissions Calculator estimates GHG, NOx, and PM2.5, as well as emission reduction cost effectiveness from medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, running on diesel, natural gas, propane of electricity. Compares vehicle technologies and choosing options that are both cost-saving and reduce emissions primarily for the implementation of states’ VW Diesel Mitigation Settlement plans.

The AFDC Vehicle Cost Calculator provides information on emissions and cost of ownership by vehicle make and model. Takes information on driving habits and fuel economy to provide snapshots of cost to operate a vehicle.

EVolution generates comparisons between various electric powertrains and conventional vehicles, customized to show local fuel and electricity prices, vehicle purchase price accounting for incentives, charging availability, and commute time to determine cost of ownership.
