According to Governor J.B. Pritzker, Illinois is "one of the most attractive [locations] in the country" for electric vehicle manufacturing.[3] In November 2021, Pritzker signed the Reimagining Electric Vehicles in Illinois (REV) Act, which provides tax credits for electric vehicle manufacturers.[4]
By region[edit]
Bloomington–Normal[edit]
Bloomington–Normal is widely considered to be a potential hub for electric vehicle manufacturing. In 2017, Rivian opened the state's largest manufacturing plant in Normal.[5]
Chicago[edit]
As of February 2022[update], there were about 220 public charging stations in Chicago, and about 600 in the Chicago metropolitan area.[6]
In April 2020, the Chicago City Council passed an ordinance requiring all new residential buildings constructed with at least 30 parking spaces to have 20% of parking spaces be dedicated to electric vehicle charging.[7]
There have been concerns about racial inequality with regards to the prevalence of charging stations in Chicago.[8][9]
