AI Summary
This bill, the Electric Vehicles for Underserved Communities Act of 2021, aims to increase the deployment of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in low-income communities and communities of color. It requires the Secretary of Energy to conduct an assessment of the current state of EV charging infrastructure in underserved or disadvantaged communities and submit a report on the findings. The bill also establishes the EV Charging Equity Program, which provides technical assistance and competitive grants to eligible entities, such as state and local governments, utilities, and non-profit organizations, to increase the accessibility and deployment of EV charging infrastructure in these communities. The bill sets priorities for the program, such as providing the greatest benefit to the most people, incorporating renewable energy, and utilizing local businesses. It also requires the Secretary to establish an education and outreach component to ensure underserved communities are aware of the program and its benefits.
