Abenzi Be-EV Namaqembu Ezemvelo Bacela Ukusekelwa Kukahulumeni Ngokushaja Kwe-EV Enzima

Ubuchwepheshe obusha njengezimoto zikagesi ngokuvamile zidinga ukwesekwa komphakathi ukuze kuvalwe igebe phakathi kwamaphrojekthi we-R&D nemikhiqizo yohwebo esebenzayo, futhi uTesla nabanye abakhiqizi bezimoto baye bazuza emixhasweni ehlukahlukene kanye nezinxephezelo ezivela kuhulumeni wobumbano, wezifundazwe nowasekhaya phakathi neminyaka edlule.

I-Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill (BIL) esayinwe nguMongameli u-Biden ngoNovemba odlule ihlanganisa ama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-7.5 ekuxhaseni ngemali ye-EV. Nokho, njengoba imininingwane isheshiswa, abanye besaba ukuthi izimoto ezithengiswayo, ezikhiqiza inani elilinganayo lokungcoliswa komoya, zingase zishwabane. U-Tesla, kanye nabanye abakhiqizi bezimoto kanye namaqembu ezemvelo, ucele ngokusemthethweni abaphathi beBiden ukuthi batshale imali ekukhokhiseni ingqalasizinda yamabhasi kagesi, amaloli nezinye izimoto ezithwala kanzima.

Encwadini evulelekile eya kuNobhala Wezamandla uJennifer Granholm kanye noNobhala WezokuThutha uPete Buttigieg, abakhiqizi bezimoto namanye amaqembu bacele abaphathi ukuthi banikeze amaphesenti ayishumi ale mali engqalasizinda yezimoto ezihamba phakathi nendawo nezindayo.

“Nakuba izimoto ezithwala kanzima zakha amaphesenti ayishumi kuphela azo zonke izimoto ezisemgwaqweni e-United States, zinikela ngamaphesenti angu-45 okungcola kwe-nitrogen oxide emkhakheni wezokuthutha, amaphesenti angu-57 okungcola kwayo okuyizinhlayiyana ezinhle, kanye namaphesenti angu-28 okukhishwa kwayo kokufudumala kwembulunga yonke. ,” ifundeka ingxenye yencwadi. “Ukungcoliswa kwalezi zimoto kuba nomthelela ongemuhle emiphakathini ehola kancane futhi enganakiwe. Ngenhlanhla, ukufaka ugesi ezimotweni zemisebenzi ephakathi nendawo nesindayo kakade sekonga ezimweni eziningi…Ukufinyelela ekushajeni, ngakolunye uhlangothi, kusewumgoqo obalulekile ekuthathweni kwawo.

“Iningi lengqalasizinda yokushaja i-EV yomphakathi yakhiwe futhi yakhiwa kucatshangelwa izimoto zabagibeli. Ubukhulu nendawo yezikhala kubonisa intshisekelo yokusiza umphakathi oshayelayo, hhayi izimoto ezinkulu zentengiso. Uma imikhumbi ye-MHDV yaseMelika izosebenza ngogesi, ingqalasizinda eshajayo eyakhiwe ngaphansi kwe-BIL kuyodingeka icabangele izidingo zayo ezihlukile.

“Njengoba abaphathi be-Biden babhala imihlahlandlela, amazinga nezimfuneko zengqalasizinda ye-EV ekhokhelwa i-BIL, sicela ukuthi bakhuthaze izifundazwe ukuthi zithuthukise ingqalasizinda eshajayo eklanyelwe ukusevisa ama-MHDV. Ngokukhethekile, sicela ukuthi okungenani amaphesenti ayishumi oxhaso olufakwe ku-BIL's Section 11401 Grants for Fueling and Infrastructure Programme asetshenziswe ekushajelweni kwengqalasizinda eklanyelwe ukusiza i-MHDV—kokubili emihubheni ekhethiwe yokufaka uphethiloli kanye nasemiphakathini.”
