Evers signs legislation enabling electric vehicle fast-charging infrastructure buildout
Madison, WI - Legislation that will pave the way for more electric vehicle fast-charging stations along Wisconsin's major roadways has been signed into law by Governor Tony Evers. The Customers First Coalition has supported this legislation across multiple legislative sessions and we were proud to be represented when Governor Evers signed the bills into law at the Wisconsin State Capitol earlier today.
The Customers First Coalition has long believed state policies should be designed to support EV adoption and the associated benefits that can come with it, including:
- Downward pressure on electric rates for all customers;
- Lower fuel and maintenance costs for EV drivers, fleets, and transit systems; and,
- Environmental benefits from lower emissions.
Because of their ability to open Wisconsin’s EV charging network to receiving federally-funded National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) grants, 2023 Act 121 and Act 122 will help usher in the benefits of EVs for Wisconsin electric customers.
