Many New EV Fast Chargers Coming To Wisconsin - CleanTechnica

A new initiative in Wisconsin will see the installation of fast electric vehicle (EV) chargers at 26 business locations, including Kwik Trip stores, hotels, gas stations, a chocolate shop, and a Culver’s restaurant. This project is supported by $14 million in federally funded grants aimed at expanding EV infrastructure across the state. While the exact number of new charging ports has not been specified, estimates suggest there could be between 26 and 104 ports, based on similar recent installations that typically feature multiple chargers per site. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation emphasizes that these new chargers will provide reliable and convenient stops for EV drivers, encouraging travel across the state and supporting local businesses. Although Wisconsin currently has relatively few electric vehicles—partly due to limited public charging options—the expansion of fast chargers is expected to increase awareness and usage. This infrastructure growth is particularly important now that federal consumer EV incentives have ended, making accessible charging stations a critical factor in promoting EV adoption in the region.
