Dayton-area advocates want EV infrastructure roll-out to be equitable
State officials from the Ohio Department of Transportation Drive Ohio initiative updated the public in Trotwood Friday afternoon about progress on Electric Vehicle (EV) infrastructure development in the state.
They said the plan is to install Direct Current (DC) Fast Charging stations every 50 miles along most Ohio interstates within a couple of years.
Rap Hankins, president of the local EV advocacy group Drive Electric Dayton, helped organize Friday’s meeting. Hankins said the location of the meeting, a predominantly Black suburb, was intentional and that his organization wants to make sure people in Trotwood have their voices heard as NEVI funds continue to be distributed across Ohio.
