What happened: Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) March 20 signed legislation that includes a three cents-per-kilowatt hour fee at public electric vehicle charging stations. This applies to all Level 3 charging stations, and Level 1 or Level 2 stations installed after March 22.
Why it matters: This makes Wisconsin the eighth state to enact a public electric vehicle charging station fee. According to a state government analysis, the bill could generate up to $427,600 in fiscal year 2026, with future growth as electric vehicle use increases.
