Funding comes amid concerns transition to zero-carbon transportation isn’t keeping pace with goals to tackle climate crisis
Joe Biden’s administration has unveiled $623m in funding to boost the number of electric vehicle charging points in the US, amid concerns that the transition to zero-carbon transportation isn’t keeping pace with goals to tackle the climate crisis.
The funding will be distributed in grants for dozens of programs across 22 states, such as EV chargers for apartment blocks in New Jersey, rapid chargers in Oregon and hydrogen fuel chargers for freight trucks in Texas. In all, it’s expected the money, drawn from the bipartisan infrastructure law, will add 7,500 chargers to the US total.
