Washington to convert I-5 to electric highway, will eventually connect Mexico to Canada
A step towards less range anxiety
Charging stations every 40 – 60 miles
The state of Washington will add a series of electric charging stations along its portion of Interstate 5, the key west coast highway, to alleviate range anxiety issues with electric cars. And eventually, this green highway will extend from California to Mexico.
Charging stations will be placed every 40 – 60 miles along the highway as part of the EV Project, a federal program to increase EV infrastructure.
Using AeroVironment quick chargers, electric drivers will be able to recharge their vehicles in 30 minutes, although a low cost-charging option will also be available that can recharge in 4 – 6 hours.
