What it does

The RECHARGE Act would allow electric vehicle charging stations to be installed and used at rest areas along the Interstate Highway System, addressing gaps in charging infrastructure for electric passenger vehicles. It amends federal law to permit such infrastructure despite existing restrictions on commercial activities in highway rights-of-way, as long as the use is strictly for charging electric vehicles. The bill also includes conforming changes to related programs, such as the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program and Jason’s Law, to align references with the new provisions. It does not alter existing presidential or agency authorities under current law.
