Expedited Permitting
The REV Act created an EV Permitting Task Force consisting of the Illinois Department of Transportation, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and Illinois Department of Natural Resources to ensure that permitting issues for EV companies are put on the fast track.
Prioritized Infrastructure Needs
Road projects that directly assist in the feasibility of locating an EV facility may be prioritized by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
