August 2023 Group Watch: Alabama Funds More EV Charging Stations
Governor Kay Ivey has awarded grants of more than $1.2 million to get the state ready as more electric vehicles are purchased and travel Alabama highways. Funds for the projects came from appropriations under the state Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Program. The grants target well-traveled highway systems away from the interstates or busy locations. Most of the latest awards are in locations along Alabama’s highway system on the state’s eastern corridor. The Montgomery County Commission was awarded $461,700 to install eight charging stations at the recently completed Whitewater Park on Maxwell Boulevard.
