Electric car owners can zip up Interstate Five from fast charger to fast charger in Oregonand Washington, thanks to the creation of the West Coast Electric Highway.
California is getting ready to join the party, with funding identified for charging stations along I-5 and highway 99. Work on the California end could be approved in July by the California Energy Commission.
This gives us a chance to check in with the people in charge of the chargers (sorry), to hear how much use the system is getting. Andrew Dick from ODOT in Oregon, and Tonia Buell from the Washington Department of Transportation and Rhetta deMesa from the Energy Commission visit.
