Arizona will receive $76.5 million to build electric-vehicle charging stations and infrastructure in the state, and is among the first 34 states to get approval for its plans for the money, the Federal Highway Administration said this week.
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that Congress passed last year included money for vehicle charging, and states submitted plans for how they would use the funds. Arizona's proposal was handled by the Arizona Department of Transportation.
"When the Infrastructure bill was passed and this program was created and made available, we got on it immediately here at ADOT," spokesman Doug Nick said Friday.
The idea is that we will have no more than 50 miles between ports on any of the interstates in Arizona," said Nick, adding that the plan also will seek to find ideal locations for ports on other roads as well.

Considering Arizona's most abundant resource is the sun, setting these stations up with solar and battery arrays would make perfect sense. I don't count on that happening though.
