Demand for electric vehicles is skyrocketing, and Kentucky is working to keep up with it.
The state recently received nearly $70 million to add electric vehicle charging stations across the state.
Mike Proctor, with the Evolve KY Board of Directors, said EVolve KY has installed 124 chargers and 58 locations.
The group has been advocating for the adoption of EVs since 2015, and board member Proctor says this $70 million federal funding will help ease the concerns of drivers being stuck on the road.
The plan says that each of these interstate corridors must have charging stations within 50 miles of one another, and like the one located in Hamburg, they must be within a mile of the roadway.
Proctor said the supply of chargers will grow in a way that meets the demand of vehicles on the road.
But he is hoping that more ground gets covered as time passes, especially in areas far away from those major roadways.
