Hanover Park Earns Distinction as  EV Ready Community

The Metropolitan Mayors Caucus (Caucus) and ComEd celebrated the first class of communities to complete the EV Readiness Program, It was created to help local governments prepare for the growth of electric vehicles (EVs) and charging infrastructure across northern Illinois. In total, 12 diverse municipalities were recognized at an awards event for their work to achieve the designation of “EV Ready Community.” Through the program, communities have taken steps to develop permitting for EV charging infrastructure, conduct training for local staff, and implement plans that engage the community and ensure a safe integration of zero-emissions vehicles.

Municipalities in the program were required to complete several core “EV Readiness” actions including updated zoning codes to support new charging infrastructure, new permitting and inspection processes aligned with state and national standards to guide safe installation of charging equipment, and training for first responders on incidents involving EVs. EV Ready Communities also created online EV resources to educate residents and businesses about EVs. Mayor Craig and Village staff accepted the Bronze level designation at the awards ceremony.
