2 new electric vehicle charging station sites coming to Mahoning. Where can you find them?
New electric vehicle charging stations are coming to two locations in the Mahoning County as Ohio continues to grow infrastructure available for electric vehicles.
That’s according to Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s most recent $16 million announcement to install a second round of new EV charging stations across the state.
They’ll be available for EV drivers to utilize while traveling along Ohio’s interstates, state routes and U.S. routes, including I-680, I-71, I-76 and I-77.
Engineers and energy crews will receive funds from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program to install 22 EV charging stations.
