Governor Ivey awards grants for additional EV charging stations in East Alabama

In Alabama, WBRC reported that Alabama Governor Kay Ivey announced nearly $1 million in grants to support electric vehicle charging stations at 44 locations in East Alabama.

The grants, awarded from the remaining funds of Alabama’s portion of the nationwide Volkswagen settlement plan, will make it more convenient for electric vehicle drivers to charge their vehicles at businesses and public venues, according to the report.

“As the automotive industry, including manufacturers who call Alabama home, shift production toward electric vehicles, Alabama has made strides in supporting increased charging stations along our travel corridors,” Governor Ivey said. “We will continue that progress as more vehicles, including many produced here in Alabama, are powered by electricity.”
