Comprehensive Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Access, Readiness, and Sustainability Amendment Act of 2023

This bill expands electric vehicle charging infrastructure across the District of Columbia by requiring new construction to include charging-ready electrical panels and mandating that commercial and multi-unit buildings install charging ports. It establishes a pilot program to add chargers in underserved neighborhoods and requires a public education campaign to inform residents about the benefits of electric vehicles. The legislation also sets a goal to have enough charging ports to support at least 5% of registered vehicles by 2027, while requiring data reporting and mandating that 35% of installation and maintenance work be done by certified local businesses. Additionally, the bill creates standards for interoperable charging ports and requires fast-charging stations at large retail gas stations.
