Last week, the House and Senate passed Senate Bill 21 by votes of 38-3 and 20-1 respectively. This bill expands access to electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Delaware.
The bill amends the Delaware Energy Act to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles in the State by creating more accessible electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Specifically, this Act permits State agencies to charge a fee for public or employee use of electric vehicle supply equipment installed by the agency so long as the fees do not exceed the agency’s costs.
This Act limits the locations where the charging infrastructure may be placed by the State to state-owned or state-leased properties used by state employees or visitors.
The three Republicans opposed to this bill are Gerald Hocker, Rich Collins, Shannon Morris and Stephen Smyk. I guess they enjoy climate change and pollution.
