  • Estimates of the number and type of electric vehicle charging stations in public and private locations;
  • Suggestions for optimal locations for electric vehicle charging stations in urban, suburban and rural locations and low and moderate income communities;
  • Discussion of present and projected future costs and methods of financing those costs;
  • Discussion of technological advances in charging stations and related infrastructure, equipment and technology including, including data collection, mobile charging, assisting in grid management and assisting in the integration of renewable energy resources;
  • Discussion of strategies to maintain electric vehicle charging stations in full and continuous working order; 
  • Recommendations to assist governmental and private sector officials in installing charging stations and related infrastructure, equipment and technology, including within proximity of on-street parking; and
