Ohio Takes Charge: Announcing 27 New EV Fast Charging Stations Along Interstates
Ohio becomes the first state to announce the locations for its federally-funded NEVI DC fast charging stations, with plans to install 27 stations along major interstate corridors. However, despite this progress, Ohio lags behind in terms of electric vehicle (EV) adoption and charging infrastructure. The state imposes high registration fees on EVs, with BEV drivers paying nearly seven times more than gas car drivers. Ohio also lacks tax credits and incentives for EV purchases. While the NEVI program is a step in the right direction, Ohio's state legislators need to address these issues to truly support EV adoption.
