The Upper Peninsula hopes tourism will increase after more electric vehicle chargers are installed.
LANSING, Mich., (WPBN/WGTU) – The Michigan Public Service Commission approved tariff changes and the creation of an accounting process through which the Upper Peninsula Power Company will accelerate installation of electric vehicle chargers.
This is the first such utility vehicle electrification effort approved by the Commission for the Upper Peninsula.
The Commission hopes to meet growing demand for electric vehicle charging and encourage tourism among electric vehicle drivers.
The approval will allow Upper Peninsula Power Company customers, including municipalities and non-profit, agencies to access public funding to defray the costs of installing electric vehicle chargers.
This includes the $110 million for electric vehicle charging infrastructure that Michigan will receive through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
