The Electrification Roadmap examines the challenges facing electrification, including battery technology and cost, infrastructure financing, regulatory requirements, electric power sector interface, and consumer acceptance issues. The Roadmap provides policymakers and business leaders with a framework for overcoming these challenges in order to drive meaningful reductions in U.S. oil dependence.
In May 2010, Democrats and Republicans in both the House and the Senate introduced legislation that echoes the primary recommendations of the SAFE Electrification Roadmap.
