MURPHYSBORO, Ill. (WSIL) -- The Egyptian Electric Cooperation Association has been awarded $530,000 for DC fast chargers to be installed at three different locations.
This money comes from the Illinois EPA's Driving a Cleaner Illinois grant program.
The three charging locations will be at the Southern Illinois Airport, SIU’s Transportation Education Center and Touch of Nature Outdoor Education Center.
The grant program is part of a state-wide initiative to expand electric vehicle infrastructure which intends to add 1,500 new charging ports across Illinois.
