The South Dakota Department of Transportation will host two in-person open house public meetings this week and a virtual, on-demand meeting to discuss and receive public input on the South Dakota Electric Vehicle Fast Charging Plan. The in-person meetings will be informal, with a short presentation followed by one-on-one discussion with SDDOT and consultant staff. Through the in-person and virtual meetings, the public will have the opportunity to provide written comment.
