Lessons Learned from the Clean Cities Community Electric Vehicle Readiness Projects

The U.S. Department of Energy has released a report that summarizes the activities, outputs, and lessons of projects intended to advance the deployment of plug-in electric vehicles. Full .pdf may be found here: http://ht.ly/tYqUX

Local governments can be powerful supporters of charging station deployment – Local governments have a critical role to play in the development of both public and private charging infrastructure due to their authority over zoning, parking, and signage; building codes; and permitting and inspection processes. Local ordinances and procedures can interfere with charging station development, which can be avoided by amending codes and streamlining processes. Local ordinances and procedures also present opportunities to proactively support or offer incentives for charging station installations.
