EV Chargers and Billing Structure in Charger Legislation

What is happening? Wisconsin is considering SB 573 (2022 | WI) that would allow private entities to own EV charges and bill for their use.

Why is this important? Billing for charging can be either by amount of electricity or by amount of time. Billing for amount of time disadvantages cars with slower charging.

How will this be important? The State’s municipal league now opposes the bills since it can no longer install EV chargers in public or municipally owned spaces.
