Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station Promotion

The State must support the development of a statewide EV charging network by:

• Improving the quality, quantity, and variety of EV charging station infrastructure;
• Improving consumer experience at EV charging stations across the State;
• Encouraging the Louisiana Public Service Commission (LPSC) to establish an EV charging station rate structure for public direct current fast charging (DCFC) stations that increases price transparency, stabilizes electricity costs, and expands investment opportunities in charging infrastructure, innovation, and implementation of publicly available EV charging technology and equipment; and,
• Encouraging the LPSC to deregulate EV charging stations.
