The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has allocated $23.3 million in federal funding to expand electric vehicle charging infrastructure across the state.

Kwik Trip will receive the majority of the funds to install charging stations at 24 locations.

The initiative aims to alleviate concerns for the 23,000 electric vehicle owners in Wisconsin by providing fast charging stations.

The charging stations are expected to be operational by fall 2024 and continue into 2025.

The project seeks to bridge the gap in charging station availability, with locations planned from Douglas County in the north to Kenosha County in the south.

The lack of charging stations has been identified as a key issue for EV drivers in Wisconsin.

The expansion is crucial in supporting EV adoption and offers increased convenience and environmental benefits.

Some gas-powered vehicle drivers remain skeptical of the need for additional EV infrastructure.

The partnership between Kwik Trip and the DOT represents a commitment to a cleaner, more sustainable transportation future in Wisconsin.
