Indiana Revives EV Charger Plans: Less Restrictions, More Flexibility, and Community EngagementIndiana has resumed its plans to install electric vehicle chargers along highways, following a pause earlier this year due to new federal rules. The updated guidelines offer more flexibility, such as not requiring chargers every fifty miles or near highway exits. This change could speed up installations and reach areas with less access. However, the looser rules have raised concerns about equity and access, as Indiana is no longer required to involve minority and women-owned businesses or ensure chargers are spread out to help disadvantaged areas. Community groups like Black Sun Light Sustainability are working to connect diverse contractors with opportunities and consider local benefits. As Indiana moves forward, the focus will be on the pace and fairness of clean transportation expansion.
