Tim Milburn, Partner at Green Ways 2Go and Regina McKormack, Senior Manager, Center for Sustainability, co-presented at the EV Charging Infrastructure Midwest event in Chicago on May 25. The subject was EV charging in multiple family dwellings. Milburn reviewed the basics of power supply and demand, working with utilities, types of EV charging, investments and cost recovery methods and the need for stronger incentives for this sector. Ms. McKormack reviewed some studies on perceptions and barriers in this segment. The session was moderated by Charles Satterfield, Sr. Manager Edison Electric Institute.

Background: Recently enacted laws and grant programs in the Midwest are creating evident momentum in the uptake of EVs, enabling the building of a coordinated and efficient charging infrastructure, and addressing equity and resilience issues. The collaboration among Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Indiana to electrify a 1,100-mile shoreline along Lake Michigan with EV charging stations is a clear indicator of the Midwest’s commitment to promoting EV adoption and building the related infrastructure.
