Democrats AOC and RepAndyLevin are unveiling legislation dubbed the 'EV Freedom Act' to create a network of high-speed charging stations within five years along the public roads of the national highway system
WASHINGTON - Two U.S. lawmakers on Thursday will unveil legislation that would create a nationwide electric vehicle charging network to promote the shift from gasoline-powered vehicles and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Levin represents a suburban Detroit district that includes many autoworkers, while Ocasio-Cortez is from New York who helped unveil the “Green New Deal” earlier this year to transition the U.S. economy away from fossil fuels. They will be joined by environmental groups and the United Auto Workers union.
“There is just no way that we will get to broad scale adoption of electric vehicles until we crush range anxiety and then it will happen precipitously,” Levin told Reuters. Many Democratic candidates have called for eliminating or largely phasing out gasoline-powered vehicles by 2030 or 2035 and back significant rebates to vehicle owners for scrapping polluting vehicles and shifting to electric vehicles.
