“Recognizing the growing demand for electric vehicles and the need for charging stations, today, Councilmember Charles Allen introduced legislation charting the path forward to at least 7,500 public charging stations in the District of Columbia in the next four years.
The bill includes several ways to reach the 7,500 public charging stations by 2027 while setting a requirement to equally distribute stations across the entire District: · Direct DDOT to create and publish an Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment and Management Plan in 2024 to help the District assess the electric grid’s readiness and resiliency for EV charging. The plan will identify future charging station locations with equity as a priority and would be required to be updated every three years.
· Create a permitting requirement for newly built or renovated single-family homes with dedicated off-road parking to be EV-charging ready.
and, perhaps, 75,000 more places to lock my bike?
Would dc collect money from the electric usage of these? Electric cars have pay for fuel just like gas cars have to.
Finally a good idea from the Council for once.
