Pennsylvania now has the second-highest number of federally funded charging stations in the US with the opening of these six new locations.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said Friday morning that a Waa in Cumberland County is one of six newly established federally funded EV charging stations.
Using money from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program, Pennsylvania currently has 17 electric vehicle charging stations, including the six new ones that were constructed.
The charging stations have provided more than 17,400 charging sessions since the first station supported by the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure opened in Pennsylvania. According to the State, these sessions have powered almost two million estimated miles driven and reduced CO2 emissions by more than 950,000 pounds.
More than $9 million was spent by the federal government to open the 17 stations in Pennsylvania.
The following are the locations of the new stations:
-
