摘要：	In November, the U.S. Congress passed H.R. 3684, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, also known as the bipartisan infrastructure bill. The $1.2 trillion piece of legislation is a monumental investment in our nation's infrastructure and includes $550 billion of new spending. The bipartisan infrastructure bill includes a variety of traditional infrastructure projects, such as revitalizing the nation's roads, bridges, and railways. However, the legislation has many non-traditional infrastructure priorities as well, such as high-speed internet, climate change projects, and environmental justice. Included is $7.5 billion for installing a nationwide network of electric vehicle charging stations. According to the J.D. Power 2021 Electric Vehicle Experience (EVX) Ownership Study, the factor most cited in a decision on whether to buy an electric vehicle is range anxiety. Prospective electric vehicle owners are concerned that the car will not be able to travel long distances, due to difficulty finding a convenient place to charge. This issue is a barrier for both manufacturers trying to sell electric vehicles, and governments attempting to spur consumer adoption of cleaner modes of transportation.
