"US Government Allocates $623 Million for Nationwide Electric Vehicle Charging Network Expansion"

The Biden-Harris Administration has announced $623 million in grants to expand the electric vehicle (EV) charging network across the U.S., aiming to create American jobs and ensure convenient charging for drivers. This funding, part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, will support 47 EV charging and alternative-fueling infrastructure projects in 22 states and Puerto Rico, including construction of approximately 7,500 EV charging ports. The grants align with President Biden's goal of at least 500,000 publicly available chargers by 2030 and contribute to the rapid and equitable transition to clean transportation systems, reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Over 70% of the funding will support project sites in disadvantaged communities, promoting accessibility and reliability of clean transportation.
