Boosting EV Charging Access in Underserved Communities
This act aims to increase the availability of electric vehicle charging stations in communities most affected by pollution and lacking access to such infrastructure. Through a grant program, residents in these areas will have easier access to EV charging, potentially lowering transportation costs and improving air quality.
