Biden’s EV highway takes shape

Armed with billions of dollars, the Biden administration is embarking on the biggest transformation of the U.S. consumer driving landscape in generations, hoping to blanket the nation’s highways with electric vehicle chargers.
The goal is to grow the nationwide network of chargers to 500,000, including high-speed chargers – no more than 50 miles apart – on some 75,000 miles of the nation’s busiest highways and interstates. The chargers are a critical piece of President Joe Biden’s climate policy and his goal of having 50% of all new
U.S. vehicle sales be electric by 2030.
All models of electric vehicles will be able to hook into the federally-funded chargers, even, for the first time in the U.S., Tesla’s SuperChargers. Consumers will also enjoy universal payment and identification methods.
