DIRTY CAR EV Act of 2023
This bill requires the Comptroller General, with input from the Energy Secretary and EPA Administrator, to study the full environmental impact of electric vehicles (EVs). The study must examine battery production (including mineral mining), electricity sources for charging, grid strain from widespread EV adoption, costs of building charging infrastructure, and maintenance needs for roads and bridges. It does not change any laws or regulations but mandates a report to Congress within 180 days of enactment. The study aims to provide data on EV ecosystem costs and environmental effects, directly affecting future policy discussions about electric vehicles.
