Electric Vehicle Industry Would Get Boost From Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal

摘要

The bipartisan infrastructure bill would provide considerable funding to boost the electric vehicle industry. Crowell & Moring’s Byron Brown discusses five key provisions of the bill that willhave the most influence on the transition to EVs.The transition toward electric vehicles received a boost with the Senate’s passage of a bipartisan infrastructure bill that included myriad provisions that would increase funding and policysupport for the domestic electric battery and vehicle industries and for the buildout of a national electric vehicle charging network. While the legislation tries to solve some of the longstandingchallenges that have inhibited widespread adoption of electric vehicles, it falls short of what President Biden has argued is needed to meet his goal of net-zero emissions for thetransportation sector by 2035.
