This bill authorizes towns to create revolving funds for installation and maintenance of electric vehicle charging stations. This is not a proper role for government. Private enterprise and capital can and should pay for vehicle fueling infrastructure.

This bill would allow towns to create Revolving Loan Funds (RLFs) as a source of capital to make direct loans to borrowers for installation and maintenance of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. Proceeds from loan repayments flow back into the fund and become available to lend again, promoting the building and maintenance of more EV charging stations across the state. This bill also prohibits any person not driving an emergency vehicle from stopping, standing, or parking in a parking place designated for EVs. I OWN AN EV. IT IS MY ONLY VEHICLE. & I NEED TO GET AROUND THE STATE.

I support this bill. I think it will promote the building and maintenance of EV charging stations.

NH's business community and NH's tourist industry need our electric vehicle charging infrastructure to be far more robust to make us an attractive place to accept employment and to choose for vacation. SB272 would help boost the development and the success of our EV charging infrastructure.

Such an easy YES to support EV use in NH, giving towns the means to encourage installation of charging stations. We need these in our state!

This is a good bill that will encourage more people to reduce their fossil fuel consumption.
