SUBTITLE C - CLEAN TRANSPORTATION
Each electic utility shall (must?) develop a plan to support the use of plug-in electric drive vehicles.
Charging stations may (must?) be deployed in public and private locatiions (i.e. everywhere).
The charging stations may (must?) include fast charging units, battery exchanges, and “other services.”
The charging stations must be interoperable (charge every type of vehicle).
The utility will be allowed cost recovery for the charging stations (hint: higher utiltity rates).
The charging stations must be able to identify the ownership of each vehicle so that the owner can be billed.
The Secretary of Energy may provide financial assistance for the establishment of these charging stations (hint: higher taxes).
The Secretary of Energy may provide fiancial assistance to state and local governments to get these charging stations intalled (hint: higher taxes).
The Secretary of Energy may provide financial assistance to auto manufacturers for reconstructions and retooling (hint: higher taxes).
That financial assistance is separate from the “allowances” which the Secretary may give the manufaturers. These allowances will be used to pay up to 30% of the cost of reequipping, expanding, or establishing a manufactuirng facility. Allowances are pieces of paper that have a value as determined by the open market because they are tradable. If the Secretary provides those to the manufacturers, then the Secretary must buy them (hint: higher taxes).
More to come….
