The City of Philadelphia is considering a bill to create a network of public electric vehicle charging stations at curbside locations and parking lots. This bill would allow the city to partner with companies to install and maintain these charging stations. The bill would also update city rules to manage the use of these charging stations and enforce parking rules for electric vehicles.
