The new stations will be scattered across the interstate system in Arizona, according to Garin Groff, an ADOT spokesman.
“The idea of placing these chargers along the interstates is to ensure that there’s a reliable network of locations where people can charge their electric vehicles,” Groff told KTAR News 92.3 FM on Wednesday.
