Connections: An update on the state of electric vehicles in the U.S.
Guests examine the state of electric vehicles with Evan Dawson on Connections Wednesday, November 17. The conversation focused on local shifts in mindset and infrastructure supporting the purchase of electric vehicles, and the potential impacts of new national legislation.
Here are some key take-aways:
Access to charging infrastructure at apartment complexes, offices, and grocery stores continues to be an area of improvement for increasing EV ownership in our area.
Drivers who have successfully made the transition to EVs describe shifting their mindset away from fueling once the gas tank is nearly empty, towards more planned and preemptive EV charging.
Panelists agreed on recommending EVs for utility and construction fleets due to their reliability, horsepower, and usefulness as a power source in the field.
Biden’s proposed plan targets 50% of all new vehicle purchases being EVs by 2030 and includes a significant investment in level 2 charging stations.
