Indiana Prepares to Add Electric Vehicle Charging Stations – Indianapolis News | Weather in Indiana | Indiana traffic

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A public meeting in June and three more in July will provide updates and seek feedback on Indiana’s plans to expand its electric vehicle charging network.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program is funding Indiana’s “Charging at Intersections” project. The program plans to launch at least 500,000 charging stations by 2030.

People will learn about the program and will be able to suggest locations for charging stations. A YouTube video from the Indiana Department of Transportation provides detailed information about the Charge the Crossroads initiative.

On June 18, the Indiana Department of Transportation plans to release an updated design for a statewide network of charging stations.

There will be meetings next. Presentations will begin 30 minutes after doors open. Here are the meeting times, dates and locations:

• 17:00-19:00 June 25, Ivy Tech Community College Warsaw, Student Lounge, 2545 Silveus Crossing, Warsaw.
• 5:00 p.m.–7:00 p.m., July 9, Global Village Welcome Center, 4233 Lafayette Road, Indianapolis.
• 11:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. July 11, Ivy Tech Community College Kokomo, Hingst Hall, 1815 E Morgan St., Kokomo.
• 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. July 16, Vincennes University, Green Activity Center, 120 W. Harrison St., Vincennes.

In March, the state of Indiana announced that 39 locations — on all interstates except one on U.S. 31 near Tipton — would receive money to address gaps in the state’s charging network.
