Michigan has taken steps to bolster its electric vehicle infrastructure, investing in charging stations and public transit electrification to support the growing adoption of EVs. However, a new study reveals persistent disparities in access, with rural and low-income communities lagging behind urban areas in the availability of charging networks. The findings highlight ongoing challenges in ensuring equitable transportation electrification across the state. Critics argue that without targeted policies, the benefits of EV expansion may not reach all residents equally.
