Gov. J.B. Pritzker appointed Megha Lakhchaura to that role at a salary of $180,000 annually. She'll lead the state's push to put 1 million EVs on the roads by 2030 through a number of incentives and the rollout of expanded charging infrastructure.
This is Illinois, so we must use tax dollars to make it look like we are doing something. Be on the lookout for non-stop tax increases as this guy keeps trying to make it look like he is doing some thing. Does it EVER stop??? :/

Another $180K plus benefits of wasted tax dollars.
Maybe so, but for those who truly believe in the increasing presence of climate change a laissez-faire attitude from government officials has not brought us to enough amelioration on it. So, its arguable to such folks to think this may help and matter more than enough to justify the expense.

What is this position even needed for?
I want to buy the product, and the product is fit for purpose, then I proceed with the purchase.
No gov apparatchik needed.
N.B. – I have an EV and bought for purely economic purposes. No gov involvement necessary as that market is functioning. Hence, this is a BS gov job, but I repeat myself.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
