In the Legislature’s regular session that ended May 29, EV advocates successfully nudged several bills to passage – not all they wanted, but enough, they say,...

The number of gas stations in Texas dwarfs the number of available chargers. There are more than 12,000 devices — or pumps — in the Lone Star State from which one can fuel up a gas-powered car. Meanwhile, there are only about 2,900 charging stations in Texas.

Vermont and California rank No. 1 and 2, respectively, and the top 10 states have at least 55 charging stations per 100,000 residents.But new laws signed by Gov. Greg Abbott will help fast-track development of more charging stations as electric vehicle ownership increases. Another — Senate Bill 1002 — ensures that utility companies can’t undercut private retailers and other businesses that offer charging stations by offering charging at a lower rate. Advocates say the measure is vital to building out a network of charging stations.The presence of more charges is particularly important to electric vehicle owners who are unable to charge their vehicles at home.
