Every year at NATSO Connect, NATSO's Government Affairs Committee has a strategic planning meeting to assess the major political and public policy issues confronting the travel center industry in the near, medium, and long term. This year, the Committee will begin with a discussion on electric vehicles. During this discussion, the Committee will be joined by The Honorable Neil Chatterjee, Chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Among other things, Mr. Chatterjee will discuss Public Utilities Commissions' plans and motivations for increasing investment in electric vehicle recharging infrastructure, and what this could mean for fuel retailers. Chatterjee was nominated to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission by President Donald J. Trump in May 2017. He served as Chairman from August 2017 to December 2017 and was again named Chairman on October 24, 2018. Prior to joining the Commission, he was energy policy advisor to U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
