Increasing Equitable EV Access and Charging

The document argues that states must implement policies and allocate funds to ensure equitable access to electric vehicle (EV) charging, particularly for residents of apartments and condo buildings who lack home charging options. It specifically examines a California ballot measure intended to support EV adoption and infrastructure in low- to moderate-income communities.

• A significant portion of the US population lives in multi-unit dwellings, such as apartments or condos, which frequently lack the necessary equipment for EV charging, creating a barrier to adoption since most charging currently occurs at home or work.
• To ensure all people can access and charge electric vehicles, state-level policies and funding must be specifically directed toward addressing these infrastructure gaps.
