Writing for E&E News about how EVs change America, reporter David Ferris spoke with CALSTART CEO John Boesel about federal funding freezes and their impact on port decarbonization efforts. John noted that Inflation Reduction Act funding for this important work has port personnel--from coast to coast-- feeling “very concerned and alarmed that funding may go away.” John reminds readers that ports “were incredibly excited about the opportunity, and they are still hoping they can make the case that those funds should still be invested in their projects.” As the coverage asserts, dozens of ports are facing uncertainty about their grant money, and most experts interviewed for the article believe losing this funding could set back the electric truck industry by at least five years—threatening America’s global competitiveness. Meanwhile, in high-impact areas like Los Angeles, where “diesel vehicles that move goods produce 80 percent of the region’s nitrogen oxide pollution and 30 percent of particulate matter,” residents will continue to suffer from the health impacts of this pollution.
