Governor Josh Shapiro released news about a $20 million investment for electric vehicle charging infrastructure across Pennsylvania, including Chester County, writes Mac Bell for abc27 news.

This investment is part of round 1A of the federal National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) funding, according to PennDOT.

“Every federal dollar directed toward EV charging is one step closer to a vision of accessible and reliable infrastructure that supports electric transportation,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “Pennsylvania, under the leadership of Governor Shapiro, has been among the states leading the charge to distribute NEVI funds to give drivers confidence while promoting sustained environmental benefits.”

$969,304 will go to CarCharge for a charging station at Marriott in Coatesville, which is at US-30, Exit 293.
