Companies team up to add EV charging stations in Metro Detroit
Auto-makers have made it clear that electric vehicles are the future. For that to happen, you need places to charge them, and thatโs what Kroger, DTE, and a company called Volta Charging are trying to do as theyโre looking to bring charging stations to places that donโt have many.
Grants to help fund EV fast charging stations in Michigan
LANSING, Mich. Do you have the juice to drive along Michigan streets, roads and highways? The state Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) wants to make sure operators of electric vehicles have enough places to plug in. Nearly $1.7 million in EGLE Charge Up Michigan Program grants will partially fund 36 EV DC fast charging stations with a total of 76 plug-in points for automobiles and light-utility vehicles along well-traveled routes. Public and private entities still can apply for EGLE grants of up to $70,000 per station. Funding for the grants comes from more than $9.7 million allocated to Michigan from the Volkswagen diesel emissions settlement.
