Speak Up: Delaware officials tout electric vehicle-charging stations
Posted
Optimism abounded Friday, as officials outlined plans to support Delaware’s electric vehicle infrastructure bill. With $17.5 million from the federal government and $4 million from the bond bill, installation of 11 electric vehicle-charging stations is planned throughout the state, starting next year.
- I think we need clarification. Only 11 stations for the entire state, at a cost of $17.5 million? And these are located along the routes where out-of-staters travel, so we’ll be sharing them? Any idea how long it takes for just one electric vehicle to charge up? Lastly, some Delaware residents will need to drive 25 miles away from their homes just to charge up? The whole EV mandate doesn’t seem to have been clearly thought through or planned out. — Ellen Hart Richardson
- I just bought a premium gas-loving vehicle, with no plans to replace it with an electric vehicle! — Bobbie Littlefield
- All that money coming from the taxpayers, many of whom don’t want this. — Bob Hice
- Ridiculous. There are many of us who do not want this. — Robin Messick
