Building Out Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

The briefing examines the role of electric vehicles in reducing the 29 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions attributed to transportation. It highlights the necessity of overcoming insufficient charging infrastructure through the use of $7.5 billion from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and programs like the Rural Energy Savings Program to ensure equitable and efficient deployment.

• The U.S. transportation sector is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the country, accounting for 29 percent of the total.
• A lack of sufficient charging infrastructure serves as a major obstacle to the broad adoption of electric vehicles.
• The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act has allocated $7.5 billion toward charging infrastructure, which, alongside the Rural Energy Savings Program, offers a path toward equitable and widespread deployment.
