The policy toolkit for local government addresses multiple issues where local policies can make an impact: electrification plans, fleet transitions, charging infrastructure, and engaging with public utilities and state agencies.
Washington State’s Plan for Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment is a blueprint for the planning, prioritization,
and implementation of a statewide network of charging stations along state highways.
This comprehensive toolkit covers EV Basics, Funding and Financing, Planning Resources, Benefits and Challenges.
Developed by the Washington EV Council and delivered to the Legislature in February 2024, this comprehensive report includes recommended actions the state can take this year and beyond to ensure the benefits of driving electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, and market incentives are accessible and available to all Washingtonians.
This guide helps jurisdictions meet the policy objectives for consistency with VISION 2050 and implement CC-Action-1. In addition, counties
may have additional policies related to greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation in their countywide
planning policies.
Communities, planning organizations, local and state governments, tribal nations, and other decision makers can use this resource from the U.S. Joint Office of Energy and Transportation to navigate key considerations for planning and deploying EV infrastructure.
This toolkit is designed for policymakers at the city level and includes a summary of potential policies and examples of those policies in action, evaluating the cost, feasibility, benefits, and impacts of each. Policies address charging infrastructure, multi-sector issues, freight, fleets, and consumers.
This document is a summary guide to electric vehicle (EV) and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) ordinances in the US.
The Local Government Playbook contains recommendations for how counties, cities, and towns can leverage federal investments in electric vehicle infrastructure. It provides a “checklist” of actions and strategies that local governments can enact now and in the future, including best practices, innovative policy approaches, and lessons from previous charging deployments.
