A Laundry List of EV Charger Amendments

What is happening? Wisconsin is considering a package of bills that would establish rules of EV chargers.

Why is this important? The bills have a series of amendments that are catching people’s attention much like the way a skunk catches your attention. The amendments:

•  ban government entities from owning or leasing charging stations
• require chargers to use electricity that comes from utilities — not from on-site solar installations

How will this be important? Only five states — Iowa, Kansas, North Dakota, South Carolina and Virginia — have adopted policies restricting EV charging station ownership beyond utilities.
