A wave of new electric vehicle charging stations across the country is coming as interest in alternatives to gasoline-powered vehicles is on the rise
From coast to coast, cities big and small are adding charging stations for electric vehicles.
The charging stations aim to help drivers switch to electric vehicles from gasoline-powered ones, and public funding began several years ago before the current spike in gas prices. On Monday, New Jersey officials awarded $1 million in grants to install electric vehicle charging stations in 24 tourist areas around the state. The idea was to help spur tourism by reassuring visitors who own electric vehicles that they can come to a vacation spot in New Jersey and not run out of power to get back home.
Spots getting money for new charging stations include Asbury Park, Atlantic City, Ocean City and several state parks and forests.
