There are lots of reasons to care about this issue, and the movement to give consumers and businesses the freedom to buy is growing. Some people want to own an EV and cannot test drive or take delivery of their preferred model in their home state. Fleet operators transitioning their fleet to be electric want to be assured there are service centers in the state. Many more citizens want to help create a thriving EV ecosystem. Others just think it is the right thing to do. No matter your reason, we encourage you to make your voice heard.

• When you reach out, inform them that you are a constituent and provide your name and address. Clearly state the bill number and whether you are PRO or CON.
• If the bill is in a specific committee, include committee members—especially the chair and vice chair—in your email.
• Tell the story of why you care about direct sales in your own words. You don’t have to write much—a couple of sentences is enough.
• This is a state-level issue and we don’t encourage weighing in unless you live in an affected state. The exception would be if you represent an interest group or company that wants to share its perspective on the issue.
