The Scottish government, which has control over the roads on
its own turf within the United Kingdom, has announced plans to accelerate its
support for electric vehicles (stories here and here). The main steps are (1) phasing out the
sale of gasoline and diesel vehicles by 2032 (ahead of the overall UK target)
and (2) greatly expanding the installation of electric vehicle charging
stations. The current project to
dualize 80 miles of the A9, the main road between Perth and Inverness, will
include new chargers – enough to make it the “first fully electric-enabled
highway” in Scotland. More details
on the EV plans and broader climate change initiatives will be announced in the
near future.
Can someone remind me why we can’t do this in the US?
