  Department of Energy Launches New Tools to Accelerate Adoption of
  Electric Vehicles


      August 22, 2011

The U.S. Department of Energy today announced the launch of two online 
tools designed to help communities better prepare for widespread 
adoption of plug-in electric vehicles (EVs). DOE has developed a 
template to help local governments design permits for residential EV 
charger installations and accelerate the approval process. DOE has also 
released a training video to provide inspectors and electricians with a 
guide to facilitate inspections and installations of home EV chargers.

These tools will encourage cities to develop standardized permitting and 
inspection procedures and help local officials streamline their 
processes. They also aim to create more favorable conditions for EV 
businesses, including infrastructure providers and installers, to thrive 
as more plug-in electric vehicles come to the market. This effort will 
not only speed the adoption of EVs that reduce our reliance on foreign 
oil, it will make it easier for EV drivers to save energy and money by 
charging at home.
