The District of Columbia council passed a "right to charge" electric vehicles bill allowing renters to install charging stations at their residences.

The bill also requires new or renovated single-family homes with garages or driveway parking spots to include at least one standard plug for Level 1 EV charging.

If the bill is signed into law, it would establish an "Electric Vehicle Charging Incentive Program" to distribute vouchers to property owners to cover a portion of the EV charging installation or the full amount, reported WUSA.

Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, has yet to sign the bill, which formally passed on Tuesday.

“This is a blueprint for leveraging the once-in-a-generation investments from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and other federal grant opportunities. This legislation will undoubtedly accelerate the District’s transition to our renewable energy future, minimize our impact on the climate, and build a healthier, greener, and more resilient city,” Councilmember Charles Allen said.

According to an InsideEVs.com analysis, the bill could serve as a model for other cities.
