Beginning in July 2017, BCAG will be working with its member agencies to develop a Plug-in Electric Vehicle (PEV) Readiness Plan for the Butte region. By developing and adopting a PEV Readiness Plan, BCAG and its member agencies will be eligible for grant funding that is available for installing PEV infrastructure such as charging facilities.

 

The plan will include recommendations for improving city and county zoning policies and building codes to facilitate future installation of residential, commercial and public electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) (charging facilities). It will also provide recommendations for preferred locations for future public PEV charging station locations.

 

Check back soon for further updates, including dates of public workshops later in 2017.
