Purpose and Summary

Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Bill 119 HR 2188, also known as the "Electric Vehicle Conversion Cost Analysis Act," aims to require the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a thorough analysis of the costs associated with converting light-duty vehicles in the Federal fleet to electric vehicles. The bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to this conversion process.

The main goal of this legislation is to gather comprehensive data on the financial implications of transitioning the Federal government's fleet of light-duty vehicles to electric vehicles. This analysis will help policymakers make informed decisions about the feasibility and potential benefits of such a conversion.

By conducting this analysis, the government will be able to assess the upfront costs, long-term savings, and environmental impacts of switching to electric vehicles. This information will be crucial in determining the most cost-effective and sustainable approach to modernizing the Federal fleet. Overall, Bill 119 HR 2188 seeks to promote transparency and accountability in the decision-making process surrounding the conversion of Federal vehicles to electric power. It underscores the importance of considering both the financial and environmental implications of such a transition, ultimately aiming to guide policymakers towards a more sustainable and efficient transportation system.
