$603K Grant Awarded For Electric Charging Station In Chesco

CHESTER COUNTY, PA —PennDOT announced Wednesday that a $603,294 grant was awarded for an electric vehicle charging station at the PA Turnpike service plaza in West Brandywine (Mile 305).

The Chester County grant to Applegreen Electric PA was part of the first round of Pennsylvania funding in the federal National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program.

"Our work to continue investing these funds will not only help build out our electric vehicle charging network but will create good-paying jobs across Pennsylvania," said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll.

Seven projects in six counties were selected to expand access and the reliability of electric vehicle charging within Pennsylvania.

The nearly $3.9 million federal investment is part of the $171.5 million PennDOT will receive and distribute for electric vehicle charging infrastructure over five years through the federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
