The Metropolitan Mayors Caucus is developing an EV Ready Checklist and an EV Buying Decision Guide for municipalities, which will be completed in May. We held a listening session at the Go Green Illinois meeting on 3/10, but if we were unable to get to your comment, please feel free to email Cheryl. We will incorporate this feedback into our EV guides. If you did not attend the presentation and want to view the slides, you can download them here. There are several questions at the end of the slides. If you have comments about what your municipality is considering, please feel free to email Cheryl.
Some of the broad questions on EVs/EV charging stations are:
-What are the key planning considerations?
-What development policies need to be considered?
-What building codes, permitting and inspection policies need to be considered?
-What pricing and finance issues need to be considered?
-What information and training is needed?
-What would your municipality like to see in an EV Buying Decision Guide?
More information on the EV ready initiative is here.
