WASHINGTON: The Biden government released an ambitious federal strategy on Monday to build 500,000 charging stations for electric vehicles throughout the country and lower the cost of electric cars with the aim of changing the US car industry.
“The future of transportation in our country and throughout the world is Electricity,” Vice President Kamala Harris said at the EV charging facility on the outskirts of Maryland.
The President of the $ 1 trillion infrastructure law of Joe Biden was signed last month to authorize the national charging network and Set aside $ 5 billion for countries to build it, including $ 63 million for Maryland.
The law also provides an additional $ 2.5 billion for local grants to support filling stations in rural areas and in disadvantaged communities.
The social policy bill and The Biden and Environmental Environment, are now delayed in the Senate, including a $ 7,500 tax credit to reduce the cost of electric vehicles.
Biden administration wants to “make an electric vehicle accessible for everyone,” Harris said.
“Really makes it accessible for everyone and easy .
Just like filling your car with gas.
“Harris visited the maintenance facility in Brandywine, just outside Washington, where he received a demonstration about how the charger worked and learned about plans to build a government fleet in the Prince George Maryland region.” Nothing Voice or smoke! “Harris exclaimed as local workers demonstrated chargers.” How do I know it really works? “The car was fully charged when flashing green, the worker told him.
The new EV charging strategy sets the office of a shared electric vehicle between the Ministry of Energy and Federal Transportation ; Removing guidance and standards for the country; and ensure consultation with producers, state and local governments, environmental justice and civil rights groups, tribes, and others, the White House said.
Two departments will also launch the Advisory Committee on Electric Vehicles The hope of officials will go up and run early next year.
Accelerated electrical vehicle adoption for private cars and commercial fleets will help achieve the goal of Biden from Net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in 2050 while creating thousands of jobs, the White House said.
This effort is also intended to help US Leapfrog in the EV plug-in market.
At present, the US market share of the sale of electric vehicles plug-in is a third of the Chinese EV market size.
Biden has set a goal calculated by electric cars and trucks for half of new vehicles for sale in 2030.
LMC automotive consulting company expects our sales from new electric vehicles to reach nearly 400,000 this year, almost double the number last year.
EVS still redeemed only around 2.6% of sales, but the company expects sales to grow to more than 730,000 next year and more than 2 million in 2025.
Even at 2 million, EV sales will still only be around 12% of our new vehicle sales .
Republicans, including some who chose for the sake of the law of new infrastructure, have criticized Biden because it was preoccupied with electrical vehicle technology when Americans argue with a surge in gasoline and natural gas prices.
Biden last month ordered a record of 50 million oil barrels released from American strategic reserves, coordinating with other major energy-eating countries.
Gas prices have fallen in recent weeks because of the growing concern of other economic slowdown from the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.
The average price on Sundays is $ 3.33 per gallon, according to the American Automobile Association, down about 7 cents from the end of last month.
