ADOT is recommending expanding the state’s electric vehicle charging network to include 21 new or upgraded locations along the following highways:

• SR 77: Show Low to Holbrook. 
• SR 77: Tucson to Pima County limits.  
• SR 69: Interstate 17 to Prescott.

The EV charging network plan is part of $76.5 million in federal funding Arizona is eligible to receive through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program.

The program encourages adoption of electric vehicles “as viable alternatives to gasoline-powered cars by building a nationwide network of publicly accessible and reliable fast chargers that will reduce drivers’ concerns about EV range,” the ADOT release stated.
