PITTSBURGH — Intelligent power management company Eaton announced the latest episode in its Current Thinking broadcast series, “Advancing EV charging with infrastructure funding.” The new episode features a panel of public and private sector experts discussing ways states and municipalities can apply infrastructure funding allocated by the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to meet critical vehicle electrification objectives. As EV charging plays an essential role in the energy transition, local leaders can apply this critical funding to help modernize infrastructure, accelerate vehicle electrification and meet aggressive carbon reduction targets.
