| 摘要： | The transition to electric vehicles presents a significant opportunity for the transportation industry in the United States. By leading in EV development, infrastructure, and manufacturing, the United States can secure its leadership position in the global auto industry of the future, which is quickly approaching. Landmark policies such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act, have already driven significant public and private investments in EVs and charging infrastructure, putting the nation on track to rapidly increase EV adoption. The transition to electric transportation can also address stubborn issues of equity and affordability. Low-income and minority communities, which have historically borne the brunt of transportation-related pollution, and the poor who spend upwards of 27 percent of their income on transportation stand to benefit significantly from electrification.34 The Justice40 Initiative and federal grant programs aim to ensure that EVs and EV infrastructure are expanded equitably, with a focus on directing investments and benefits to such communities. Investor-owned utilities are also targeting projects and investments in underserved neighborhoods, paving the way to improve quality of life in these areas. However, closing the gap and ensuring that historically underserved communities fully benefit from the transition to EVs will require continued prioritization, targeted policies, increased investment, and meaningful public engagement. By addressing these challenges and embracing the opportunities of EVs, the United States can deliver on the promise of a sustainable and equitable transportation future. |
