Electric co-ops form coalition for EV chargers

Vernon Electric Cooperative installed Level 2 and Level 3 EV chargers in Readstown, Wisconsin, at the Kickapoo Creekside Restaurant. Vernon Electric (headquartered in Westby, Wisconsin) is among 31 electric cooperatives who make up the CHARGE network, installing EV charging stations throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois.

 

The growing surge of electric vehicles prompted 31 electric cooperatives in the Upper Midwest to form a coalition to create a regional EV charging network in Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

They formed the CHARGE EV network near major highways and interstates with hopes of assuring Midwest drivers they can take long drives without the fear of running out of power according to T&D World.
