Today, we’re seeing a vastly accelerating shift towards EVs in the national and global markets. We now have the rechargeable battery technology to make EVs not only more practical, but more economical and an answer to many existential problems of our time, like the climate crisis and detrimental public health impacts surrounding air pollution. The average EV on the market today has a range of about 240 miles on a full charge, so most people will have plenty to get through the day. Maine had 435 places you can charge your electric car in 2023. Maine has received a $15 million federal grant to install nearly 600 electric vehicle charging stations in more than 70 cities and towns. ~ Rev.
