Governor Janet Mills today announced that 17 new high-speed electric vehicle charging stations will open in Maine over the next year as part of the State’s commitment to build an accessible and reliable network of EV chargers for residents and visitors. Selection of sites were made through the State’s Recharge Maine initiative, a partnership among the Maine Department of Transportation , Efficiency Maine Trust, the Maine Governor's Office of Policy Innovation and the Future, the Maine Governor's Energy Office, and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection. The new charging sites, which will feature 52 new chargers, have been selected with the goal of expanding the charging network to serve travelers on heavily traveled highways and roads, such as Interstate 95 (I-95), U.S. Route 2, U.S. Route 302, areas of Portland and Bangor, and supporting outdoor recreation and university communities. The high-speed EV chargers will be installed in the coming year. https://lnkd.in/e4CBy_rZ Joint Office of Energy and Transportation #EV #EVcharging #ElectricVehicles #CleanTransportation #Electrification
