E wātea ana ngā miriona tāra a California mō te whakawhānui i te utunga waka hiko

Ko te whāinga o tētahi kaupapa whakatenatena utu waka hou i California he whakapiki i te utu taumata-waenga i ngā whare noho, i ngā papa mahi, i ngā whare karakia me ētahi atu wāhi.

Ko te kaupapa Communities in Charge, e whakahaerehia ana e CALSTART, ā, i tautokona e te California Energy Commission, kei te arotahi ki te whakawhānui i te utunga Taumata 2 hei whakataurite i te tohatoha tika o te utunga waka, i te mea ka tere te whakamahi a ngā taraiwa i te mākete waka hiko nui rawa atu o te motu i ngā EV. Hei te tau 2030, e whai ana te kawanatanga kia 5 miriona waka kore-tukunga i runga i ōna rori, he whāinga e kīia ana e te nuinga o ngā kaititiro ahumahi ka ngāwari te whakatutuki.

"E mōhio ana ahau he roa rawa te wā e tae mai ai te tau 2030," te kī a Geoffrey Cook, he kaiwhakahaere kaupapa matua mō te tīma wahie rerekē me te hanganga i CALSTART, me te tāpiri atu ka hiahiatia e te kawanatanga kia 1.2 miriona ngā rihi e whakamahia ana i taua wā hei whakatutuki i ngā hiahia taraiwa. Neke atu i te 1.6 miriona ngā EV kua rēhitatia ki California, ā, e 25 ōrau o ngā hoko waka hou he hiko inaianei, e ai ki te whakahaere ahumahi EV o Sacramento, a Veloz.

Ko te kaupapa Communities in Charge, e whakarato ana i ngā rauemi pūtea me ngā rauemi hangarau mō ngā kaitono e hiahia ana ki te tāuta i te utu waka, i tīmata tana rauna tuatahi o te pūtea i te marama o Poutū-te-rangi 2023 me te $30 miriona e wātea ana, mai i te Kaupapa Waka Ma o te Komihana Pūngao o California. Nā taua rauna i neke atu i te $35 miriona ngā tono, he maha i arotahi ki ngā wāhi kaupapa pēnei i ngā whare maha-whānau. 

"Koinei te wāhi e whakapau kaha ana te tini o te tangata ki te utu. Ā, kei te kite mātou i te nui o te hiahia ki te taha utu i te wāhi mahi," te kī a Cook. 

Ka tukuna te tuarua o ngā putea $38 miriona i te 7 o Noema, ā, ka mutu te tono tae noa ki te 22 o Tīhema.

"He tino hiakai te āhua o te hiahia me te hiahia kua whakapuakina kia uru atu ki te pūtea puta noa i te kawanatanga o California .... Kua kite tātou i tētahi momo ahurea tūturu e nui ake ana te hiahia i te pūtea e wātea ana," te kī a Cook.

Kei te aro nui te kaupapa ki te whakaaro kia tohatohahia ngā utu i runga i te ōritetanga me te ōritetanga, kaua e noho noa i roto i ngā tāone nui o te takutai moana. 

E noho ana a Xiomara Chavez, he kaiwhakahaere kaupapa matua mō Communities in Charge, ki Riverside County — ki te rawhiti o te rohe taone nui o Los Angeles — ā, i kōrero ia mō te korenga o te auau o ngā hanganga utu Taumata 2 e tika ana.

"Ka kitea te kore taurite i roto i te wātea o ngā utu," te kī a Chavez, he taraiwa Chevrolet Bolt.

"He wā anō ka werawera ahau ki te haere mai i LA ki Riverside County," tāna tāpiri, me te whakanui, i te mea kei te piki haere te maha o ngā waka i runga i te rori, he mea nui ake kia "tohatoha tika ake te hanganga utu puta noa i te kawanatanga."
