Transitioning to Electric Vehicles in the U.S.
To the Editor: Re “New Rule Aims to Push E.V.s to Fore” (Business, March 21): I am 100 percent for electric vehicles. I commend President Biden for making such a bold and forward-thinking proposal.
But the reality is that this may never happen in today’s America. As your story notes, fossil fuel companies and Republican attorneys general are likely to file legal challenges.
One thing that also needs to be addressed is the availability of the materials needed to make the batteries. We must realize how much damage is done to the environment in order to access these materials.
E.V.s will never become mainstream until some major infrastructure changes take place. These include the need for hundreds of thousands of charging stations across America, including fast-charging stations.
