The new laws free up nearly $80 million in federal construction aid and make it easier for gas stations, convenience stores, and other businesses to operate electric vehicle charging stations.

It's going to cost them millions upon millions, take 5-10 years and they will only install like 4...and 3 will be broken within a week and never repaired.

Like with most things, I’m cautiously optimistic. It will probably take longer than necessary, for sure. But businesses being able to get money another way might evoke some motivation to get it done. I just don’t know about the demand right now. I see a few electric cars around, but the cold reduces the distance, so I personally think that WI just won’t have as many electric cars. Maybe plug-in hybrids though.

And it’s a bit of a chicken and egg. Maybe more stations would encourage people to consider electric vehicles.
