Washington State Electrical Vehicle Action Plan

It’s Been Signed! Great News for Seattle EV vehicle Charger Installers!
 
SEATTLE - May 13, 2015 - PRLog -- Washington State Governor Jay Inslee has signed a bill paving the way for more electric vehicles on the road with a goal of 50,000 Plug-In Electric Vehicles by 2020. This is the News that Seattle has been waiting for all along.

Here is the plan in PDF form. WAEVActionPan pdf. (http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/NR/rdonlyres/28559EF4-CD9D-4CFA-9886-105A30FD58C4/0/WAEVActionPlan2014.pdf)

The purpose of the Electric Vehicle Action Plan

The plan provides recommendations on strategies, policies, and investments to increase market demand for electric vehicles. Despite early success, Washington does not have a formal structure or sustainable funding for advancing the electric vehicle industry. Several of the proposed actions require state legislative changes and funding. Once legislators determine future investments, WSDOT will coordinate with stakeholders to implement actions, measure effectiveness, and report on progress.

What does it mean for Washington?

For Washington State, supporting the adoption and use of electric vehicles is sound economic, environmental, and transportation policy. Sustainable and clean energy (http://www.results.wa.gov/what-we-do/measure-results/sust...) is key in creating a robust market for electric vehicles. The continued growth of the EV market will help:

•Meet state goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

•Protect public health and air quality.

•Promote economic growth.

•Save drivers money.

What does it mean for us?

For the citizens of Washington State, it means more access to EV charging stations and less smog as we get the gasoline and diesel vehicles off of our beautiful highways. Electric Vehicles create jobs locally for EV charger installers and EV maintenance and repair. Electric vehicles help Washington retain 80–90% of the dollars currently being spent on gasoline and diesel.
