Electric vehicle drivers and enthusiasts who travel across Kentucky have more reasons to celebrate with more charging infrastructure installed in the state. Three new, publicly-accessible EV charging stations are now in operation as part of Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities Company's EV Charging Station Program.
The new charging stations are located on the campus of Morehead State University in Morehead, in the City Hall parking lot in downtown Richmond and at LG&E Center on Main Street in downtown Louisville. Not only are the facilities significant because of the enhanced accessibility they're providing for EV drivers, they're also powering LG&E and KU's program to its goal, approved by the Kentucky Public Service Commission in 2016, of installing a total of 20 publicly-accessible charging stations across its service territories, with 10 in each.
"When we started this program, we had a vision of working to support customers' interest in EVs by broadening charging infrastructure across the state, so they could have greater confidence should they choose to invest in one," said Beth McFarland, LG&E and KU vice president of Customer Services. "Thanks to the partnership of numerous agencies, cities and organizations, the EV charging stations we've been able to install now represent about 20 percent of public charging stations available in Kentucky. As a company, we're really proud of that, but we're even more proud of what that means for current and prospective EV drivers traveling through the state."
