RCW 47.04.350 directs the Washington state department of transportation public-private partnership office to develop a pilot program to support the deployment of electric vehicle charging infrastructure that is supported by private financing.

The pilot program will consist solely of projects that provide a benefit to the public through development, demonstration, and deployment of clean energy technologies that save energy and reduce energy costs, reduce harmful air emissions or otherwise increase energy independence for the state.

Funds will be available for the deployment of electric vehicle fast-charging stations at key locations along state and federal highway corridors to support interurban, interstate, and interregional travel.
