Despite billions in federal investment and growing consumer interest, electric vehicles still face slow adoption rates in the U.S. While widely promoted as an environmentally friendly alternative to gas-powered cars, EVs have high upfront prices and a lack of access to charging infrastructure, especially in rural and underserved communities.

EVs also produce zero tailpipe emissions, helping to cut smog and
