Hello,
I am working to have Electric Vehicle Charging Stations installed at state operated rest areas between large metropolitan areas. To accomplish this the language of Title 23, Part 752.5, part(b) and part(g) of the Code of Federal Regulations regarding rest areas along interstate highways needs to be amended to allow the states to charge the public for use of the Electric Vehicle Charging Stations. As written the states could install the Electric Vehicle Charging Stations but they cannot charge the public for their use. Some states like North Carolina have installed stations and are waiting for the regulations to catch up. Others like the Texas Department of Transportation are waiting for the change in legislation before making a decision.
The best time to make this change is right now since a new transportation bill is making it's way through congress. Please contact your Senators and Representatives and ask that part(b) and part(g) of Title 23, Part 752.5 of the Code of Federal Regulations be amended to allow states to install, operate and charge the public for access to Electric Vehicle Charging Stations at rest areas along interstate highways.
