Recently, TechTimes reported that Apple Car could also offer the popular autonomous feature, claiming that it would be the perfect one in the market. The new Apple EV is also expected to be shipped by 2025.

"The House's latest vote on the Build Back Better (BBB) Act embraces bicycles as part of a climate solution thanks to new financial incentives for bikes and e-bikes and grants for climate and equity-focused infrastructure improvements," said Jenn Dice, the CEO of PeopleforBikes.

The group's president added that they are now urging the House of Senate to approve the new bill of the Biden Administration so that they could start having cheaper zero-emission bikes and motorcycles. You can click this link to see more details.

BBB Act to Improve the EV Industry in the US

CNBC reported that the new BBB Act offers lots of benefits for U.S. residents. Aside from helping employees, providing more funds for the health sector and other programs, the new bill would also enhance the current electric car industry in the United States.

The $1 trillion infrastructure bill is expected to be a critical step in investing in the rising EV market of the country. This means that people could soon purchase more electric cars, and some of them would be cheap.
