A group representing automakers and electric vehicle charging companies on Friday urged the U.S. Transportation Department to quickly restart a $5 billion government EV infrastructure program.
The article from Reuters discusses how major automakers, represented by the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, are urging the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) to expedite the restart of a federal electric vehicle (EV) charging program. This program, which was paused due to issues with made-in-America requirements, is crucial for expanding the national network of EV chargers. The automakers emphasized the need for swift action to meet the Biden administration's goal of installing 500,000 EV chargers by 2030, highlighting that delays could hinder EV adoption rates. They also pointed out the necessity for clear guidance on charger reliability, accessibility, and the use of domestic materials to ensure the program's success. The urgency stems from the need to support the growing EV market and to align with the broader objectives of reducing carbon emissions.
