As the U.S. reaches an inflection point in the use of electric vehicles, the buildout of EV charging stations and how low-to-moderate income communities as well as communities of color are kept in the discussion will be critical.
Since 2016, there has been steady growth in the use of electric vehicles with over 1 million electrified cars and about 41,400 EV charging stations across the country. Expanding the charging infrastructure to support them is necessary to make a significant move away from GHG emission vehicles.
In late March, the Biden administration even took a major step in supporting the development of EV infrastructure when it proposed a $174 billion investment.
