Activism

Chelsea Sexton is a Los Angeles area native who found her passion at an early age with the General Motors EV1 electric vehicle program. Focusing on building a market for alternate-fuel vehicles through partnerships with corporate and non-profit stakeholders, shaping public policy and incentives, developing marketing strategies, and working directly with the drivers themselves, Chelsea became well-known as an advocate for clean, efficient, fun transportation.

When General Motors ended the EV1 program in 2001, Chelsea left the company and went on to make meaningful contributions in other areas. Still, cars, energy and technology remain so much a part of her DNA that she continues to focus on how they may be used to improve our global economy and environment. Chelsea joined the X PRIZE Foundation and led the creation of its next prize effort, which will deal with both energy and automobiles. Chelsea continues to focus on these issues through her non-profit, Lightning Rod, and serves as the Executive Director of Plug In America, a coalition of individuals and organizations that advocates for the use of plug-in vehicles by assisting legislators in creating effective policy, working with automakers to encourage production, and through consumer education.

Chelsea is one of the key individuals featured in the 2006 film, “Who Killed the Electric Car?” by Sony Pictures Classics, the book “Plug-In Hybrids, the Cars that Will Recharge America” by Sherry Boschert, and in the Sundance Channel Series, “Big Ideas for a Small Planet.”
