The stops are part of SCDOT’s 20-meeting tour across South Carolina to provide an update on the state’s efforts to support the electric vehicle industry and ecosystem as the agency kicks off its SC+EV Initiative.

SCDOT will also hold a virtual public meeting, which may be viewed online beginning April 22.

Public comments may be submitted either in person at the meeting, through the project email, connect@southcarolina-ev.com, or by mail to SC+EV C/O SCDOT, 1201 Main St. Suite 800, Columbia, SC 29201.
