House Science Field Hearing Puts Focus on Electric Vehicle Workforce
House Science Field Hearing Puts Focus on Electric Vehicle Workforce
The House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology recently held a field hearing to explore the workforce needs for the automotive mobility and electrification industry in order to position the United States at the center of growth for electric vehicles (EVs).
Members explored issues facing workers across the emerging EV ecosystem, including design, manufacturing, installation, and maintenance of EVs and charging infrastructure. The hearing follows enactment last year of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which provided $7.5 billion to develop electric vehicle charging infrastructure and established a goal of installing 500,000 public chargers nationwide by 2030.
