The Electric Drive Vehicle Deployment Act of 2010, introduced in Congress this week, has a simple goal to electrify half of all cars and trucks on U.S. roads by 2030, and a basic strategy: focus the might of the federal government on a small number of pilot communities around the country, subsidizing the buildout of charging infrastructure and purchase of electric vehicles.
But when it comes to implementing that strategy, the legislation (which is now up for debate in two slightly different versions proposed in the House and the Senate, H.R. 5442 and S. 3442, respectively) gets somewhat more complicated. Here are 10 things you should know about a pair of proposals that could play a big role in how the nascent electric vehicle market takes shape over the next 20 years...
Details at the link. Interested parties check it out. Everyone else keep moving.
Unless something changes, I plan to stop driving in the next ten or twelve years (There are safer ways for people to travel when they are pushing eighty. My wife's Grandpa set a good example. ) but I expect to travel in an electric vehicle by then or soon after.
