Spain is Europe's second-leading car maker but it is lagging behind when it comes to electric cars, a situation that the government aims to change by using around five billion euros of the EU pandemic recovery funds to kickstart the electric car industry. The government plans to spend big, to install a network of public recharging stations and to convince customers about the benefits of buying electric or hybrid vehicles. (AP Photo/Manu Fernandez)

MILWAUKEE — The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is seeking the public's input on a plan for the future of electric vehicles in the state.

WisDOT will be receiving around $78.65 million over the next five years as part of the National Electric Vehicle program.
