HR 4437 United States House · 118th Congress

To require the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a study to evaluate any adverse effects of electric vehicles on United States infrastructure, and for other purposes.

HR 4437 requires the Comptroller General of the United States to study potential negative impacts of electric vehicles on U.S. infrastructure, grid security, fire safety (including charging systems), labor markets, and competitiveness. The study must specifically examine issues like supply chain concerns related to foreign labor practices and effects on American industry. After completing the study, any future congressional legislation about electric vehicles must include a section explaining how the study's findings were considered. This bill does not change current policies but mandates this analysis to inform future legislative decisions. The study's findings would directly affect how Congress approaches electric vehicle-related laws.
