MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Wisconsin is joining a coalition with the goal of increasing electric vehicle ownership.
Governor Tony Evers, who co-chairs the U.S. Climate Alliance, says Wisconsin and Hawaii will join 11 other states in the Affordable Clean Cars Coalition. It’s working on policies to make electric vehicles more affordable, expand EV charging infrastructure, and support U.S. automotive manufacturing jobs.
Evers says it needs to be easier, not more difficult, for Wisconsinites to own electric vehicles.
Wisconsin joined the Alliance in 2019 as one of Evers’ first official acts as governor. The Alliance, a bipartisan group of 24 governors, is committed to achieving the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement to combat climate change.
