USA, 16 September 2022: US President Joe Biden revealed at the Detroit Auto Show that the federal government had approved USD 900 million in funding for a nationwide network of electric vehicle charging stations.
EV chargers will be built throughout 53,000 miles of the nation’s highway system in 34 states and Puerto Rico with the first USD 900m of a USD 1 trillion infrastructure law passed in November.
The initial investment round concentrates on regions near interstates that are no more than 50 miles apart on important corridors. The goal is to provide electric car owners the assurance that they can stop for recharging on lengthy travels.
“In the past, buying an electric automobile required a number of sacrifices. just not right now. It’s all changing because of American inventiveness, engineers, and autoworkers,” Biden remarked at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
“I’m happy to say that we’re approving funds for the first 35 states, including Michigan, to construct their own charging infrastructure throughout their state. The big American road trip will be entirely electric. “Charging stations will be up and as easy to find as gas stations are now, whether you’re travelling coast to coast along I-10 or on I-75 here in Michigan,” the president said in remarks to an audience of autoworkers and supporters.
