Future of Vehicle Fueling Will Jobs Follow Work From Federal EV Infrastructure Blueprint? By Lucy Perry
This month (June), the FHWA released a blueprint for states to develop half a million charging stations, part of the Biden administration’s goal of moving from gas- to electric-powered vehicles. The White House believes that in the process the plan will create jobs for steelworkers, electrical workers and laborers to build, install and maintain the network. The vision is the installation of EV fast-charging stations every 50 miles, give or take, across the country. A uniform system drivers can use anywhere they drive, much like the highway infrastructure system, is the end of the rainbow. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the administration wants a system that is accessible, user-friendly and available regardless of the type of vehicle or where the user lives.
