This is definitely a move in the right direction. However, it is severely underfunded. The US needs to cut off all entitlement programs to the fossil fuel industry and use those funds to develop cleaner renewable energy. Our future depends on it.

Seriously, this is long overdue. EV's can really fill a void in many places while reducing smog in some large cities.
