The White House Just Announced a $623 Million EV-Charging Bonanza
Electric vehicle charging stations are still scarce in many parts of the US. The White House announced grants totaling $623 million to top up electric cars, bikes, and scooters.
“We're on a trajectory—an accelerating trajectory—to meet and exceed the president's goal to hit 500,000 chargers and build that nationwide backbone,” said White House national climate adviser Ali Zaidi during a press call Wednesday. Scientists and climate activists have been focusing research and resources on urban spaces in particular because of the “multisolving” benefits that EVs can provide: If cities build more chargers, adoption of electric vehicles will increase, both lowering local emissions and improving air quality and public health. “For people who have a driveway in a garage, charging your EV isn't as onerous as it can be, if you live, say, in a multiunit dwelling,” said federal highway administrator Shailen Bhatt during the press call.
