Umthethosivivinywa ovula indlela yokuthi iWisconsin iqale ukwakha inethiwekhi yeziteshi zokushaja izimoto zikagesi emigwaqweni emikhulu kanye nemigwaqo emikhulu yesifundazwe uthunyelwe kuMbusi uTony Evers.
ISenate yesifundazwe ngoLwesibili ivumile umthethosivivinywa ozoshintsha umthetho wesifundazwe ukuze kuvunyelwe abaqhubi beziteshi zokushaja ukuthengisa ugesi ezindaweni zokuthengisa. Ngaphansi komthetho wamanje, ukuthengisa okunjalo kukhawulelwe ezikhungweni ezilawulwayo.
Umthetho kuzodingeka ushintshwe ukuze uvumele uMnyango Wezokuthutha wesifundazwe ukuthi unikeze usizo lwezezimali lukahulumeni oluyizigidi ezingama-78.6 zamaRandi ezinkampanini ezizimele ezinazo futhi ezisebenzisa iziteshi zokushaja ezisheshayo.
Uhulumeni wathola uxhaso ngoHlelo Lukazwelonke Lwengqalasizinda Yezimoto Zikagesi, kodwa uMnyango Wezokuthutha awukwazanga ukusebenzisa imali ngoba umthetho wesifundazwe uvimbela ukuthengiswa kukagesi ngqo ezinhlanganweni ezingezona ezokusiza, njengoba kudingeka ohlelweni lwe-NEVI.
Lolu hlelo ludinga ukuthi abaqhubi beziteshi zokushaja izimoto zikagesi ababambe iqhaza bathengise ugesi nge-kilowatt-hora noma ngesisekelo somthamo olethwayo ukuqinisekisa ukucaca kwentengo.
Ngaphansi komthetho wamanje, abaqhubi beziteshi zokushaja eWisconsin bangakhokhisa amakhasimende kuphela ngokusekelwe ekutheni kuthatha isikhathi esingakanani ukushaja imoto, okudala ukungaqiniseki ngezindleko zokushaja kanye nezikhathi zokushaja.

Lolu hlelo luvumela izifundazwe ukuthi zisebenzise lezi zimali ukuze zimboze izindleko ezifika ku-80% zokufaka iziteshi zokushaja ezisheshayo ezizimele ezihambisana nazo zonke izinhlobo zezimoto.
Lezi zimali zenzelwe ukukhuthaza izinkampani ukuthi zifake iziteshi zokushaja ngesikhathi lapho ukwamukelwa kwezimoto zikagesi kushesha khona, yize zakha ingxenye encane kuphela yazo zonke izimoto.
Ekupheleni kuka-2022, unyaka wakamuva lapho idatha yezinga lesifundazwe itholakala khona, izimoto zikagesi zazibalelwa cishe ku-2.8% wabo bonke ukubhaliswa kwezimoto zabagibeli eWisconsin. Lokho kungaphansi kwezimoto ezingu-16,000.
Kusukela ngo-2021, abahleli bezokuthutha besifundazwe bebesebenza ku-Wisconsin Electric Vehicle Plan, uhlelo lwesifundazwe olwakhiwe njengengxenye yomthetho wengqalasizinda kahulumeni ohlanganisa izingxenye ezimbili.
Uhlelo lwe-DOT ukusebenzisana nezitolo ezithengisa izinto ezishibhile, abathengisi kanye namanye amabhizinisi ukwakha iziteshi zokushaja ezisheshayo ezingaba ngu-60 ezizotholakala ngamakhilomitha angaba ngu-80 eceleni kwemigwaqo emikhulu eqokwe njengezindlela zokushintsha uphethiloli.
Lokhu kufaka phakathi imigwaqo emikhulu ephakathi kwezifundazwe, kanye nemigwaqo emikhulu eyisikhombisa yase-US kanye nezingxenye zoMzila Wesifundazwe 29.
Isiteshi ngasinye sokushaja kumele okungenani sibe nezimbobo ezine zokushaja ezinesivinini esikhulu, kanti isiteshi sokushaja se-AFC kumele sitholakale amahora angama-24 ngosuku, izinsuku eziyi-7 ngesonto.
Kulindeleke ukuthi uMbusi uTony Evers asayine lo mthethosivivinywa, ofana nesiphakamiso esenziwe ngabameli bomthetho abasusiwe esicelweni sakhe sesabelomali sika-2023-2025. Kodwa-ke, akukacaci ukuthi iziteshi zokuqala zokushaja zizokwakhiwa nini.
Ekuqaleni kukaJanuwari, uMnyango Wezokuthutha waqala ukuqoqa iziphakamiso ezivela kubanikazi bamabhizinisi abafisa ukufaka iziteshi zokushaja.
Okhulumela uMnyango Wezokuthutha uthe ngenyanga edlule ukuthi iziphakamiso kumele zithunyelwe ngaphambi kuka-Ephreli 1, ngemuva kwalokho umnyango uzozibuyekeza bese uqala “ukuhlonza ngokushesha abamukeli bezibonelelo.”
Uhlelo lwe-NEVI luhlose ukwakha amashaja ezimoto zikagesi angu-500,000 emigwaqweni emikhulu nasemiphakathini ezweni lonke. Ingqalasizinda ibhekwa njengotshalomali olubalulekile ekuqaleni ekushintsheni kwezwe kusuka ezinjinini zomlilo zangaphakathi.
Ukuntuleka kwenethiwekhi yokushaja ethembekile abashayeli abangathembela kuyo esheshayo, efinyelelekayo nethembekile kuye kwacashunwa njengesithiyo esikhulu ekwamukelweni kwezimoto zikagesi eWisconsin nasezweni lonke.
“Inethiwekhi yokushaja yesifundazwe sonke izosiza abashayeli abaningi ukushintshela ezimotweni zikagesi, ukunciphisa ukungcola komoya kanye nokukhishwa kwamagesi abangela ukushisa ngenkathi kudala amathuba engeziwe emabhizinisini endawo,” kusho uChelsea Chandler, umqondisi we-Clean Climate, Energy and Air Project yaseWisconsin. “Imisebenzi eminingi namathuba.”
