Biden Administration Invests in Clean Energy Infrastructure Nationwide
Key Ideas
  • The Biden-Harris Administration is awarding $10.7 million to the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma to expand EV charging infrastructure, including hydrogen and natural gas fueling stations, as part of a larger $2.5 billion investment nationwide.
  • President Biden’s goal of 500,000 publicly available EV chargers by 2030 is ahead of schedule, with over 206,000 chargers already in place. This initiative not only supports clean energy goals but also creates jobs in communities across the United States.
  • The grants prioritize disadvantaged communities through the Justice40 Initiative, with 67% of funding going to these areas. This investment aims to reduce pollution, improve air quality, create economic opportunities, and promote equity in access to clean transportation.
  • The funding supports the buildout of hydrogen fueling infrastructures in alignment with the National Zero-Emission Freight Corridor Strategy. This will accelerate America’s hydrogen economy, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance air quality in communities affected by diesel emissions.
The Biden-Harris Administration is committing $10.7 million to the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma to further develop a zero-emission EV charging and refueling infrastructure, including hydrogen stations. This investment is part of a nationwide effort under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to expand clean energy infrastructure, with a focus on electric vehicles (EVs) and alternative fueling sources. The administration aims to deploy over 11,500 EV charging ports and hydrogen/natural gas fueling stations in 27 states, federally recognized tribes, and the District of Columbia. President Biden's target of 500,000 public EV chargers by 2030 is progressing well, with more than 206,000 chargers currently operational. The initiative not only supports environmental objectives but also stimulates job growth through private sector investments, federal funding, and state/local contributions. The grants prioritize marginalized communities through the Justice40 Initiative, ensuring 67% of the funding reaches these areas. This approach seeks to combat pollution, enhance air quality, foster economic development, and promote equitable access to clean transportation options. Furthermore, the funding supports the expansion of hydrogen fueling infrastructures in line with the National Zero-Emission Freight Corridor Strategy. This strategic move will boost America's hydrogen economy, diminish carbon emissions, and improve air quality in regions affected by diesel pollution. By focusing on disadvantaged communities and aligning with clean energy goals, these investments are propelling the nation towards a more sustainable and equitable transportation future.
