Electric vehicles, powered by clean, renewable energy, have become an accessible and affordable alternative to traditional gas-guzzling vehicles, a development which will only accelerate following the implementation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. This law includes $7.5 billion for creating a network of EV charging stations, as well as a number of competitive grant programs for EV research and adaptation. And while federal and state policies have made strides in moving the nation toward clean transportation, local governments have a key role to play in bringing change to their own communities.
