Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Deployment and Management Plan

Beginning in 2026, the District of Columbia Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) must publish an EV infrastructure deployment and management plan every three years. The plan must include:

• Total EV registrations in the District of Columbia;
• Progress toward EV charging infrastructure deployment equal to at least 5% of a ten-year forecast of EV registrations;
• Characterization of the speed and capacity of available EV charging infrastructure;
• Assessment of electric grid capacity and electric utility timelines to support EV charger deployment;
• Identification of income-based EV equity focus areas; and
• Legislation and regulatory recommendations.

By January 2026, DOEE must also establish an EV charging infrastructure incentive program.
