A message from NAFA's Legislative & Advocacy arm: "Rapid decarbonization of transportation, with an emphasis on electrification, is a policy goal in the U.S. Unfortunately, a lack of confidence in electric vehicles (EVs) as a reliable alternative for long-distance travel is leading to slower progress than desired. Concerns about battery life, insufficient charging infrastructure to support extended road trips and frequently malfunctioning charging sites all contribute to drivers’ hesitancy about EVs for long distance travel. Both the Biden Administration and the private sector are working to improve the U.S. charging network, but trusting it is another matter. Australia has similar EV goals and charging perceptions. Paul Cook, Executive General Manager with EV charging solutions provider BSA Limited, recently completed a successful 4,000-kilometer (2500 miles) road trip to showcase Australia’s improved readiness for EVs, supported by a maturing long-distance charging infrastructure. Cook believes that the current Australian infrastructure is right-sized for current usage and will continue to grow steadily as EV numbers expand and charging demand develops. Here in the U.S., EV range anxiety remains a major obstacle. Despite a 60% increase in EV sales from 2022 to 2023, and a significant increase in chargers to over 160,000, the perception of insufficient charging is limiting EV growth. According to the White House, the goal is a “backbone of high-speed chargers spaced no less than every 50 miles along America’s major roads, freeways, and interstates” to support the more than 26 million EVs projected to be on U.S. roads by 2030. Confidence in long-distance travel will improve with steadily expanding EV range per charge and ample charging stations that are reliable and fast. That long-distance summer vacation road trip by EV remains elusive in the U.S., but continued public/private investment and innovation will help bridge that gap. Australia’s experience highlights the opportunities. For more insights, check out the full article here: https://bit.ly/3RGttj3"
