AI Summary
This bill requires the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to install level II electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at each interstate highway rest stop, with a maximum charging time limit of 2 hours per person. Additionally, the bill allows IDOT to install direct current fast-charging stations at these rest stops, with charging fees designed only to offset the state's infrastructure and electricity costs. The legislation creates a new EV Charging Station Fund to support the installation, maintenance, and operation of these charging stations, and increases the additional registration fee for electric vehicles from $100 to $150, with $50 of that fee being deposited directly into the new fund. The bill gives IDOT the authority to adopt rules governing the implementation of these charging stations, and requires approval from the United States Secretary of Transportation for installing fast-charging stations. This initiative aims to support electric vehicle infrastructure across Illinois by providing convenient charging options for EV drivers at interstate highway rest stops.
