New Issue for EV Chargers: Equity

What’s happening? The ACEEE, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, says 6 of 36 states consider social equity in its EV charger plans.

Why is this important? California statutorily requires at least 35% of utilities’ funding for EV charging equipment go toward underserved communities & New York’s Public Service Commission ordered utilities to invest in charging with special considerations for LMI and environmental justice communities

How will this be important? States are still crafting EV charging policies.
