IndyStar: Indiana releases draft plan for building out electric vehicle infrastructure

In February, the federal government came out with guidance on how states should plan for the rollout of electric vehicle infrastructure on the nation's highways over the next five years.

It also gave them a directive: Figure out your plan in five months.

The Indiana Department of Transportation released its draft plan last week, which describes when, where and how it plans to deploy a network of electric vehicle charging stations capable of charging up cars in a matter of minutes ― and ensure this network is sustainable.

The work to prepare for this transition has been happening mostly in research settings up until the last year or two, when incoming federal dollars from President Joe Biden's infrastructure law motivated stakeholders across industry, government and advocacy to start putting their heads together.
