Rep. Weinstein Celebrates the Expansion of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Across Ohio Thanks to Federal Funded Program

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Casey Weinstein (D-Hudson) today applauds the announcement of 27 new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to be built along seven of Ohio’s interstate corridors thanks largely to $18 million dollars of federal funding from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program.

“I am proud to see Ohio make strides toward electrification,” said Rep. Weinstein. “This investment in our charging infrastructure will allow more Ohioans to buy and own electric vehicles and participate in our state’s growing EV industry.”

Ohio will now be a national leader in developing charging stations for public use. Ohio is the first state in the nation to develop charging stations that will be funded by President Joe Biden’s NEVI Program.

Electric vehicles will help us meet ambitious climate goals, while providing good-paying jobs and economic stimulus to the state.
