Program to Accelerate EV Market Growth, Newly Announced National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI).
WASHINGTON— The U.S. Departments of Transportation and EnergyAnnouncementThursday’s state-by–state allocations of $5 billion formula grants for electric car (EV) charging infrastructure were announced. People are unable to switch to electric cars because of a lack of electric vehicle charging. This funding will improve the network of EV charging stations across the country. It will also help reduce global warming pollution and grow the EV market.
Environment America Research & Policy Center, which is Environment America’s research partner, estimates the United States will need to have more than By 2030, there will be 1.8 million chargersTo meet the anticipated demand. Environment America states that policymakers can do more to lower the initial cost for EVs than installing more charging stations.
The following statement was issued by U.S. PIRG and Environment America experts:
This money will allow us to start building for the electric vehicle revolution that we know is coming. Environment America Destination: Zero Carbon Director Morgan Folger. A wider network of charging points makes it easier to drive an electric vehicle and feel secure that they will have power at all times. To make electric cars more accessible and affordable, the key to a more sustainable future is to make it more affordable. To ensure that electric vehicles are affordable, Congress should restore the tax credit for electric vehicles. This will help to expand the EV market.
To make the switch to electric vehicles, the U.S. should build a national network EV charging station. It gives Americans the infrastructure they need to reduce pollution and combat climate change. PIRG Transportation Associate Mac Dressman. Tragically, pollution from vehicles, trucks, and other vehicles takes 58,000 lives each year. To ensure cleaner air for all, we must take the first step towards an all-electric, low-emission future.
