EV network formed by power companies

 

More than 50 U.S. power companies including Oklahoma Gas & Electric have joined forces to build a coast-to-coast fast charging network for electric vehicles along major U.S. travel corridors by the end of 2023.

The National Electric Highway Coalition was announced this week by the Edison Electric Institute. Fifty EEI members; the Tennessee Valley Authority; and Midwest Energy Inc., a Kansas-based electric cooperative, make up the coalition.

The coalition includes OG&E, CenterPoint Energy, Evergy, Excel Energy and PNM Resources.

E&E News reported it combines two existing EV charging groups formed in the Midwest and in Southern and Eastern coastal states, the Electric Highway Coalition and the Midwest Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Collaboration.
