Biden Administration Plan To Juice EV Charging Network Aimed At Emulating Gas Station ExperienceThe Biden administration took a step towards not only
making charging stations more plentiful, but more reliable and standardized accommodating any EV.
The plan is formally titled a
“notice of proposed rulemaking” by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration.
The stated goal of the standards is to
“provide consumers with reliable expectations for travel in an electric across and throughout the United States and support a national workforce skilled and trained in EVSE (electric vehicle supply equipment) installation and maintenance.”CAR's Brett Smith views these proposed standards as a way to address the many
shortfalls of the current charging network but asks,
“How standard they become, how executionable those standards are. It starts to put an expectation in place for people when they stop.”
