Village receives EV Readiness bronze designation

The Village of Glenview was one of 17 Northern Illinois communities to receive its EV Readiness designation the week of Aug. 4, demonstrating completion of actions required to create permitting, safety plans and local policies that help make EVs more accessible in communities throughout northern Illinois.

The EV Readiness Program was launched by ComEd and the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus in 2022 to help prepare municipalities to accommodate the growing number of EVs in Illinois, which includes more than 145,000 currently registered in Illinois today, and the vast majority of them in ComEd’s northern Illinois service territory. EV adoption is expected to increase in the future, as the state of Illinois, through its Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA), has set a goal of getting to 1 million EVs on the road by 2030.
