Adoption of Electric Vehicles</h1>
<h3 style="margin: 0; font-size: 12px; font-family: Verdana,
Arial, Helvetica; font-weight: bold;">August 22, 2011</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
