EV charger accessibility – The time is now
Disabled folks are the largest minority group in the U.S. and need to be included in the EV revolution.
It needs to happen now, at the beginning of new standards and guidance for the wide-scale deployment of EV infrastructure and vehicles, writes Dee Henry, a program assistant with Clean Fuels Ohio.
Why should you care about this if you are not disabled?
For those who might have a temporarily debilitating injury or illness that impacts mobility for a short amount of time, the aforementioned accommodations will help you, too. If you need to charge up during bad weather, an automatic robot charger would permit any user, disabled or not, to safely remain in their vehicle.
Prioritizing accessible electric car technology will actually benefit everyone.
