Ohio to install new EV charging stations

Details: The closest will be in Grove City near Interstate 71's Stringtown Road exit.

• Others are planned near the I-70 exits for U.S. Route 42 (Madison County) and state Route 158 (Licking County).
• Each 24/7 station will include at least four charger ports and come with access to food, drinks and restrooms.

State of play: The bipartisan infrastructure bill signed by President Biden in late 2021 included $140 million for new EV charging stations in Ohio.

• More rounds of installations are forthcoming, per the governor's office.

The big picture: EV registrations have risen steadily in Ohio in recent years, but the Midwest still lags behind the rest of the U.S.

• Charging access and high prices have remained sticking points for would-be buyers.
