EV POLICY UPDATE 1-26-26

Hello electric vehicle advocates! We have just one update for you from Olympia this week. The bill attempting to address the rampant vandalism of EV charging stations has advanced, with a unanimous Yes vote in the Senate Transportation Committee. Following are details:

UPDATES

Senate Bill 5746 - Creating an advisory committee on electric vehicle charger infrastructure property crime. Sponsor: Sen. J. Wilson. Approved in the Senate Transportation Committee on Jan. 29. Referred to the Senate Rules Committee. Read the amended text here. Recommendation: SUPPORT. Send a comment to your lawmakers here.

HOW TO TESTIFY:

If you haven't registered your comments yet, it takes just a minute to sign in with your support or opposition. The online Committee Sign In portal allows you to register your support or opposition to a bill, submit a comment for a public hearing, or sign up to testify online on a Senate or House bill.

You also can call and e-mail your state senators and representatives directly - find your district, names and e-mail addresses at www.leg.wa.gov.

I plan to send out weekly updates during the legislative session, highlighting opportunities to share your thoughts and concerns. Please share with anyone you know who is interested!
