Legislators are working on a proposal to give you more places to charge up your electric car. Utility regulators rejected Duke Energy’s request for a charging-station pilot program last year, saying they needed guidance from legislators. Representative Ethan Manning’s bill would authorize those programs. Manning (R-Denver) says electric vehicles are only going to become more prevalent, not just for private transportation but for commercial use. He says the state needs to get an idea of how charging stations will affect the power grid, and how they’re paid for. He’s not sure how many stations would result, but says they should spring up quickly enough to be part of a task force review of Indiana’s future energy needs. Legislators are expected to approve that two-year study this year.
