US Feds Developing Nationwide EV Charging Routes

On Nov. 3, the Obama Administration announced a plan to help people switch to EV (electric) cars. It's a set of nationwide EV corridors with charging stations every 50 miles.

“Alternative fuels and electric vehicles will play an integral part in the future of America’s transportation system,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said in a statement. “We have a duty to help drivers identify routes that will help them refuel and recharge those vehicles and designating these corridors on our highways is a first step.”
