| Submission declined on 2 January 2024 by LittlePuppers (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Declined by LittlePuppers 10 months ago. | |
Comment: With a reference, the first I checked, that failed verification I am declining this to seek tonsure that you check 100% of the references 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 21:26, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Most of the sources are either primary or do not mention the subject. There are a few good sources, but the promotional tone is the most blatant issue right now. LittlePuppers (talk) 03:04, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Calstart is a non-profit organization for zero-emission transportation. It administers governmental programs, the majority funded by the California Air Resources Board and the California Energy Commission,[1] and provides policy analysis to support clean technology and infrastructure acceleration.[2] It is headquartered in Pasadena, California.[3] Candid, an independent charity evaluator, has given Calstart a Platinum Transparency rating.[4][failed verification]
History
[edit]Calstart was established in response both to the growing contribution to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions by the transportation sector, and to the decline of jobs in aerospace industry after the end of the Cold War,[5] to create a clean transportation industry in the state.[6][7][8][9] It created a showcase electric vehicle[5] within its first year. It helped develop hybrid and electric powertrains for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and components, including the first hybrid electric bus[10] and components like differentials[11] or aluminum spaceframes for electric vehicles.[12]
Areas of work
[edit]Calstart operates in the road and off-road transportation sectors, mainly focusing on zero- and low-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicles and their alternative fuels and charging infrastructures. In the US, it is active in market acceleration programs,[13] technical and market analyses,[14] public policy advisory,[15] and support for its member organizations. Internationally, it runs Drive to Zero,[16] part of Clean Energy Ministerial, and Global Memorandum of Understanding (MOU),[17] co-led with the Netherlands. Both programs focus on decarbonizing commercial vehicles.
