We understand that electric vehicle owners want more access to charging stations so they can commute to and from work and other locations without range anxiety. That’s why we’ve partnered with LG&E to install EV charging stations at our facility. 

These new 350-kilowatt DC fast charging stations are part of the utilities’ commitment to add high-speed EV charging in up to eight locations across their service territories to increase accessibility, reduce range anxiety and support the growing number of EV motorists in and traveling through Kentucky.

 

The utilities’ suite of EV charging station programs and new Optimized EV Charging program make it easier for current and prospective EV owners to power their commute and day-to-day driving habits.
