Infrastructure Investments: Paving the Way for Electric Vehicles

Date: August 10, 2022

This visual presentation during Nashua Regional Planning Commission's Transportation Technical Advisory Committee meeting on August 10, 2022, provides 1) an introduction to electric vehicles and electric vehicle charging, 2) a funding run-down, and 3) concrete steps and best practices that municipalities can take to lead the charge.

Significant investments through programs such as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Trust are taking place to enable electric vehicle (EV) travel across New Hampshire and throughout the region. Municipal Planners can help pave the way by implementing strategies to encourage EV charging infrastructure siting, development and investment, and enable the use of EVs by your local government, residents and businesses. Zoning Board members and other municipal stakeholders can invite investment in your community by streamlining the EV charging station permitting and zoning processes.
