Volkswagen AG’s $2 billion program to promote electric vehicles and build charging stations for them doesn’t pay enough attention to doing so in poorer communities, the California Air Resources Board complaints.
About $800 million of the 10-year plan, dubbed Electrify America, will be spent in California. VW agreed last year to the project as part of its atonement for rigging 475,000 of its diesel-powered vehicles to cheat U.S. emission tests.
CARB is urging VW to invest at least 35% of the $200 million first round of spending in disadvantaged communities, Bloomberg News reports. It says the agency also wants the carmaker to be more specific about how Electrify America will support hydrogen vehicles.
