California's AB 2401, pending Governor Gavin Newsom's approval, aims to expand the Clean Cars 4 All program by increasing rebates for low-income households and those with older vehicles, addressing air quality concerns in disadvantaged communities. This legislation seeks to ensure that more rebate funds reach families who need financial assistance to transition to electric vehicles (EVs), which currently face significant adoption barriers, such as charging infrastructure and maintenance costs. Meanwhile, the Philippines' Department of Energy plans to release a new roadmap to enhance EV adoption by addressing infrastructure challenges, including the need for more charging stations. In contrast, Ireland is experiencing a decline in EV sales due to reduced government grants and concerns over costs and charging installation. Despite the challenges, industry leaders in Ireland advocate for sustained government support to encourage EV adoption and enhance the used EV market. Concurrently, California has also passed a bill to explore bidirectional charging technology, allowing EVs to supply power back to homes and the grid, a move that could revolutionize energy management.
