States are being given the go-ahead, and access to $5 billion, to build electric vehicle charging stations every 50 miles along interstate highways.
WASHINGTON -- States are being given the go-ahead to build a nationwide network of electric vehicle charging stations that would place new or upgraded stations every 50 miles along interstate highways, part of the Biden administration's plan to spur widespread adoption of the zero-emission cars.
A joint office between the Transportation and Energy departments will help provide guidance to states on how to build out the network, with attention as well to serving rural and disadvantaged communities. If states don't fully meet requirements, they risk delays in getting approval from the Federal Highway Administration or not getting federal money at all.
Biden made a pledge during the presidential campaign to build a first-ever network of 500,000 charging stations. He has also set a goal of 50% electric vehicle sales by 2030, part of a broader U.S. effort to become zero emissions economy-wide by 2050. There are more than 50,000 charging station locations in the U.S., with more than 100,000 outlets. Senior administration officials now describe money in the infrastructure law as a first step in meeting the half-million goal by 2030, after Biden's proposed $15 billion for charging stations was cut in half. They envision the new construction could spur additional big investments from the private sector.
