Program: Ohio Electric Vehicle (EV) Infrastructure Deployment Plan
- Pretti Choudhary, Executive Director of Drive Ohio
- Emerging transportation technology is what her office is tasked with overseeing
- Can we improve safety on the roads? Is our goal
- We want to provide the latest technology to Ohioans
- Electric car charging stations is main focus today
- Alternative fuel vehicle registrations increasing by year. 50% more than last year
- Home charging – Level 1; Level 2 – work; Fast chargers geared toward people traveling
- National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Programs
- $140 million for Ohio over 5 years
- charging along interstates and state/rural routes
- Charge station must be every 50 miles and within 1 mile off the interstate. 4 fast chargers (150KW per)
- Want the stations to be safe – in already developed areas since you will be there longer than filling your car with gas
- Planning for 30 stations on intestates; 16 on state/rural routes
- Phase 1: Build out highways AFCs by 2024
- Phase 2 Rural & state routes build out from 2024-2026
- Phase 3-4: use remaining formula funds based on additional priorities
- Call to Action
- Drive Ohio develops annual EV Infrastructure Deployment Plan updates
- Provide feedback on the plan: [email protected]
- Feedback on EV station locations drive.ohio.gov
- Competitive Funding Available for Community Charging
- Community charging and fueling grants
- ODOT can help cities fill out forms
- Electric vehicles are double the weight of the current cars, therefore roadway wear and tear will increase
- Hydrogen fueling also another fuel source being developed
- Current car batteries can be recycled; working with lithium battery options
- ODOT is paying for the installation of electric charges and the property owners are responsible for them from there
- EV car owners pay extra registration fee
- Utility companies are also working with ODOT. Because of the volume of power needed, that’s why the chargers have to be placed in existing companies/stations/stores
