Maine could see more electric vehicles on its roads under a law signed by Gov. Janet Mills that seeks to expand the number of charging stations.

The new law calls for accelerating Maine’s transition to electric vehicles by encouraging the installation of more electric charging stations and reducing the costs that consumers pay for charging vehicles. It requires the state Public Utilities Commission to work with utilities to develop a range of rates for electric charging.
