CHICAGO ~ Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) have announced the release of the Chicago Moves Electric Framework Plan. This plan outlines the city's strategy to expand electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, support e-mobility services, and reduce transportation-related emissions. The public is encouraged to provide feedback on the framework by submitting comments at chicago.gov/ChicagoMovesElectric.
According to Mayor Johnson, this plan is crucial in ensuring that all neighborhoods, especially those that have been historically underserved, are included in the transition to a healthier, low-carbon future. He believes that expanding access to EVs and charging infrastructure will lead to cleaner air, reduced emissions, and an improved quality of life for all residents.
The Framework sets out four key goals: equity in expanding EV charging infrastructure, encouraging low-carbon transportation, supporting multi-modal integration, and addressing critical gaps in access to EV and e-mobility infrastructure. These goals are supported by strategies focused on infrastructure reliability, community outreach and education, supportive policies, workforce development, and partnerships with both public and private sectors.

CDOT Commissioner Tom Carney emphasizes that this framework reflects the voices of residents, communities, and regional partners. By prioritizing equity and public input, they hope to create a roadmap for electric transportation that serves every neighborhood and helps reduce emissions across Chicago.
The electric transportation market is rapidly growing in Chicago and nationally. Projections show increased adoption of EVs such as Plug-In Hybrid EVs and Battery EVs as well as e-mobility options like e-bikes and e-scooters. Currently, Chicago has over 860 public EV charging locations with more than 4,800 charging ports citywide. However, much of this infrastructure is concentrated in downtown areas while many neighborhoods on the South and West Sides have limited access.
Despite this disparity in access to charging infrastructure, there has been a consistent growth in EV ownership in Chicago, with over 20,000 registered EVs. The Framework aims to address these infrastructure gaps and ensure that all communities have access to the benefits of low-emission transportation.

The plan aligns with Chicago's Climate Action Plan, which sets ambitious targets such as full electrification of the City fleet by 2035, zero-emission ride-hail and taxi fleets by 2030, and deployment of 2,500 new public EV charging stations by 2035.
Angela Tovar, Chicago's Chief Sustainability Officer and Commissioner of the Department of Environment, expresses pride in partnering with CDOT to make cleaner transportation accessible to all residents. She believes that this EV Framework is an example of how collaboration between the City and community can help meet climate targets and build a healthier and safer Chicago for everyone.
The Framework was developed through extensive community engagement, including surveys, public meetings, stakeholder listening sessions, and outreach to alderpeople and community-based organizations. The City invites the public to review the draft plan and provide feedback during a formal public comment period that ends on May 18th.
