State officials are getting ready to make a huge investment in electric vehicle charging stations that they hope will help make Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s ambitious plan to have 1 million electric vehicles on Illinois’ roads by 2030 a reality.
To that end, officials with the state’s Department of Transportation submitted a draft of a report last week to the federal Joint Office of Energy and Transportation on how to leverage federal funding to expand its EV charging infrastructure to further support those vehicles on its highways.
