1. Short Title This Act may be cited as the Electric Vehicles for Underserved Communities Act of 2020 . 2. Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) The transportation sector is the largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. (2) The transportation sector is also a major source of air pollution in the United States, including over 55 percent of total nitrogen oxide emissions, leading to poor air quality and negative health impacts, particularly in urban areas. (3) Increasing the deployment of electric vehicles and electric vehicle charging infrastructure is an essential component of combating climate change, decarbonizing the economy, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions and health-harming air pollution in the United States. (4) Industries relating to electric vehicles, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and the larger clean energy economy are substantial and diverse sources of good jobs and significant contributors to economic growth. (5) A substantial increase in electric vehicle charging infrastructure within urban areas will ensure that our cities are ready to meet the demands of expected electric vehicle deployment in the short-term and long-term. (6) Low-income communities and communities of color bear disproportionate climate change and pollution burdens, and therefore, these communities must be among the first to receive investment relating to new technologies and infrastructure that address the climate crisis and mitigate localized environmental pollution. 3. Assessment of electric vehicle charging infrastructure in urban areas (a) In general (1) Assessment The Secretary shall conduct an assessment of the state of, challenges to, and opportunities for the deployment of electric vehicle charging infrastructure in urban areas, particularly in underserved or disadvantaged communities. (2) Report Not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives
