A lot of EV drivers in the Washington, DC area work at Federal facilities that don’t allow charging. The existing interpretation of the policy essentially bans charging stations for employees and contractors, even if they are willing to pay for electricity and equipment. Congress passed a bill a few years ago that made an exception for them but ignored the rest of the Federal workforce.
On May 9th, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (she drives an electric car) introduced HR 4645, the EV-COMUTE Act which will allow government employees to pay to charge their cars at Federal workplaces.
I’ve received details from Lofgren’s staff about the current status of the bill.
If this interests you, you might want to contact your Representative and ask them to support HR 4645.
