The Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission (OTIC) announced plans with Electrify America to install the EV charging stations, which will be located at the Wyandot and Blue Heron Services Plazas in Genoa, Ohio, and at the Indian Meadow and Tiffin River Service Plazas in West Unity, Ohio, according to Electrify America.

Each Electrify America station will feature four charging dispensers that offer 150 to 350 kilowatts (kW) of power. The 350 kW chargers feature certified cooled-cable systems and can charge a vehicle at speeds up to 20 miles per minute, Electrify America said in a release.

According to an April 3, 2018 OTIC report, ‘The Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Pilot Planning Project,’ it is anticipated that more and more turnpike drivers will be driving EVs in the coming years. The report also notes that auto manufacturers have committed $92 billion to new electric vehicle production plans, and EV charging infrastructure will be needed to support this evolution.

Are You Tracking Your Fleet's True Total Cost of Ownership?

Bobit Business Media surveyed 190 fleet professionals and found that while most fleets are tracking costs, fragmented systems and data gaps are keeping true TCO visibility out of reach. With rising pressure to control spend in an increasingly volatile environment, the gap between what fleets think they know and what the data actually shows is wider than you might expect. See how your peers are managing costs today and where the industry still has room to improve.
