The goal is to increase the accessibility of electric vehicle charging infrastructure and encourage more Americans to make the switch to electric vehicles.

The bill includes provisions to ensure that the grant program is implemented in an efficient and cost-effective manner, with a focus on promoting competition and innovation in the wireless electric vehicle charging market. It also includes reporting requirements to track the progress and impact of the grant program on the adoption of electric vehicles. Overall, the Wireless Electric Vehicle Charging Grant Program Act of 2023 aims to support the growth of the electric vehicle market in the United States by expanding access to convenient and reliable charging infrastructure. By incentivizing the development of wireless charging technology, the bill seeks to reduce barriers to electric vehicle adoption and promote a cleaner, more sustainable transportation system.
