AOC Wants Govt. To Build EV Charging Stations Nationwide

Climate Change Dispatch by David Shepardson on Feb 6, 2020

Two U.S. lawmakers on Thursday will unveil legislation that would create a nationwide electric vehicle (EV) charging network to promote the shift from gasoline-powered vehicles and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Democratic Representatives Andy Levin and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are releasing legislation dubbed the “EV Freedom Act” to create a network of high-speed charging stations within five years along the public roads of the national highway system in the United States at a U.S. Capitol press conference at 12 p.m. EST.

Levin represents a suburban Detroit district that includes many autoworkers, while Ocasio-Cortez is from New York who helped unveil the “Green New Deal” earlier this year to transition the U.S. economy away from fossil fuels.

They will be joined by environmental groups and the United Auto Workers union.
