Administration Joe Bayden has developed an ambitious plan at $ 7.5 billion. According to Reuters, the money will go to expand the network of chargers for electric vehicles in poor areas with a weakly developed infrastructure.
Improving the infrastructure for electrocarbers is one of the items of the Bayden program to combat climate change, although transport accounts for only a small share of US emissions. The President plans to help the Americans to transfer to the car with an electric motor thanks to the available charging network. The state funding program will affect primar than those places that are hardly interested in private investors – that is, dysfunctional districts.
California’s experience with the largest number of electric vehicles and the most advanced network of charging stations – shows how difficult it will achieve goals within the amount that Biden decided to invest in the Green Infrastructure. California has spent more than two billion dollars on projects that help the development of electrocars. Since 2012, the staff has also earned more than 25 billion dollars with trade in carbon emissions. Some of this amount also goes to charging for electric vehicles.
Nevertheless, in California there are only 40 percent of the charging stations necessary to achieve the planned growth of the number of electric vehicles by 2025. Low-income areas are basically “black” and Hispanic – still worse than the necessary infrastructure.
CEO of the company for charging Electric vehicles EVCS Gustavo Okchuzo believes that government support in costing is key to creating a network of chargers in disadvantaged areas. According to him, California is a place that brings its company to the greatest profit. EVCS serves 1,500 chargers in less developed parties.
In California, the support measures of poor areas are gradually growing. The number of discount declarations to purchase electric cars from low and medium -ageed income families increased by a quarter this year. About a third of funds intended for installation of charging stations will go to dysfunctional areas.
Reproduction of California programs on a national scale requires much greater funding than at the moment the US government offers. From the trillion dollars aimed at infrastructure, 7.5 billion dollars will have to charging stations. Senior Director of Capgemini Americas Daniel Davenport assesses the creation of a Charger network in US $ 50 billion.
In August, Humboldt University researchers said that electric vehicles are less accessible for the black population and Latin Americans. The report notes that most stations for charging are located “in richer and white” areas. Activists advocate equal access to electrocarirs for white and non-ferrous population and insist on providing infrastructure in disadvantaged areas.
