I read that charging at freeway rest stops is not allowed at the U.S. because commercial activity is prohibited by federal law at these locations. This is such a huge missed opportunity- rest stops are already at regular intervals on common travel corridors. This law should be ammended to create an exception for ev charging.
Most state DOTs don’t want to own and operate fueling stations for a number of reasons. They’re not set up to do this. The NEVI program will deploy fast charging g every 50 miles near places with amenities. Many at existing fuel retailers from the awards we have seen so far.
