I-California Yenza Izigidi Zitholakale Ekukhuliseni Ukushaja kwe-EV

Uhlelo olusha lwezinxephezelo zokushajwa kwezimoto e-California luhlose ukukhuphula izinga lokushaja ezindlini zokuhlala, ezindaweni zemisebenzi, ezindaweni zokukhulekela nakwezinye izindawo.

Uhlelo Lwemiphakathi Ephethe, oluphethwe yi-CALSTART futhi luxhase ngezimali Ikhomishana Yamandla Yase-California, lugxile ekwandiseni ukushaja kweLeveli 2 ukuze kulingane ukusatshalaliswa okulinganayo kokushaja izimoto, njengoba abashayeli abasemakethe yezimoto zikagesi enkulu kunazo zonke ezweni besebenzisa ngokushesha ama-EV. Ngonyaka wezi-2030, umbuso uhlose ukuba nezimoto eziyizigidi ezi-5 ezikhishwa i-zero emigwaqweni yawo, umgomo iningi lababukeli bemboni abathi kuzofinyelelwa kalula.

“Ngiyazi ukuthi unyaka ka-2030 uzizwa sengathi usekude,” kusho uGeoffrey Cook, oyimenenja yephrojekthi ehlukile ethimbeni likaphethiloli nengqalasizinda kwa-CALSTART, wengeza ngokuthi umbuso uzodinga amashaja ayizigidi eziyi-1.2 asetshenziswe ngaleso sikhathi ukuze ahlangabezane nezidingo zokushayela. Bangaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-1.6 ama-EV abhalisiwe e-California, futhi amanye amaphesenti angu-25 okuthengiswa kwezimoto ezintsha manje asebenza ngogesi, ngokusho kwenhlangano yemboni ye-EV ese-Sacramento i-Veloz.

Uhlelo lwemiphakathi ekhokhisayo, oluhlinzeka ngezinsiza zezimali nezobuchwepheshe kubafakizicelo abafuna ukufaka ukushaja izimoto, luvule umzuliswano walo wokuqala woxhaso ngoMashi 2023 ngemali etholakala ezigidini ezingama-30 zamaRandi, evela kuHlelo Lwezokuthutha Oluhlanzekile lweKhomishini Yamandla yaseCalifornia. Lowo mzuliswano walethe izicelo ezingaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-35 zamaRandi, eziningi zigxile ezindaweni zamaphrojekthi njengezindlu zemindeni eminingi. 

“Yilapho abantu abaningi bechitha khona isikhathi esiningi. Futhi sibona inzalo enhle mayelana nokukhokhiswa kwendawo yokusebenza, ”kusho uCook. 

Igagasi lesibili loxhaso lezigidi ezingu-$38 lizokhishwa ngomhla ka-Nov. 7, newindi lokufaka isicelo liqhubeke kuze kube nguDis. 22.

“Indawo yokuthakasela kanye nesifiso sokuthola uxhaso lwezimali kuso sonke isifunda saseCalifornia … kuyadla kakhulu. Sibone uhlobo lwangempela lwesiko lokufisa okukhulu kunoxhaso olukhona,” kusho uCook.

Lolu hlelo lunaka ngokukhethekile umqondo wokuthi ukushaja kwabiwe ngokulinganayo nangokulinganayo, futhi akugcini nje ngokuqoqwa emadolobheni anabantu abaningi agudle ugu. 

U-Xiomara Chavez, umphathi wephrojekthi oholayo Yemiphakathi Ephethe, uhlala e-Riverside County - empumalanga yendawo yedolobha lase-Los Angeles - futhi walandisa ukuthi ingqalasizinda yokushaja ye-Level 2 ayivamile kanjani njengoba kufanele ibe njalo.

“Uyakubona ukungalingani ekushajweni,” kusho uChavez oshayela iChevrolet Bolt.

“Kunezikhathi lapho ngijuluka khona ngisuka e-LA ngiye e-Riverside County,” engeza, egcizelela, njengoba isibalo sezimoto sikhula emgwaqeni, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi ingqalasizinda eshajayo “isatshalaliswe ngokulinganayo kulo lonke izwe. .”
