Criticism
While Clean Cities includes a scattering of funding for electrification and charging stations, most of it is for carbon-based liquid fuels or non-pluggable hybrids. Clean Cities federal funding in 2010-2011 was set up with a majority of the funding favoring plug-in EVs and HEVs. However, the amount of funding and focus of that funding ebbs and flows between the alternative fuels over time due to advances in technology and interest in those fuels. CNG and propane were more popular in the early '00s, the biofuels ethanol and biodiesel took center stage in the mid '00s, and electric vehicles have taken the limelight most recently (2010–2011).

“It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.”
