The National Electric Highway Coalition was announced by the Edison Electric Institute. Fifty EEI members; the Tennessee Valley Authority; and Midwest Energy Inc. make up the coalition. It also combines two existing EV charging groups: the Electric Highway Coalition and the Midwest Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Collaboration.
Although the coalition did not set a numerical goal for charging station installations in this decade, it said its first actions would be to fill in gaps in the steadily growing EV charging infrastructure along the Interstate Highway System by year end 2023.
“[W]e are committed to investing in and providing the charging infrastructure necessary to facilitate electric vehicle growth,” EEI president Tom Kuhn said in a statement. Read here for the Energywire story.
