Illinois legislation (HB 3328/SB1879) supported by Commonwealth Edison addressing a range of energy issues would authorize, "utilities to invest up to $100 million to construct 5,000 publicly accessible EV charging stations over a five-year period."

"The stations would be located in five target areas: (1) publicly accessible parking facilities to support residents of multi-unit dwellings; (2) workplace locations accessible to employees and visitors; (3) municipal parking lots; (4) long-term or overnight public parking; and (5) economically disadvantaged areas," ComEd said.

Specific text of the bills' EV-charging provisions were not immediately available
