New Florida Law To Bring More Electric Charging Stations To State Highways
In this mention
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed the Essential State Infrastructure bill requiring state officials to develop a plan for expanding electric vehicle charging stations along state highways by July 2021. Susan Glickman, Florida director of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, emphasized the importance of ensuring equitable access to charging infrastructure across diverse communities as part of a just clean energy transition. The law addresses Florida's unique challenges as a long, low-lying state vulnerable to climate change and rising sea levels.
There is an imperative that we make (sure) certain diverse communities are not left out of this electrification (and) clean energy transition. It has to be a just transition.
