KY seeking proposals to help expand electric vehicle charging network

(KBSI) – The commonwealth of Kentucky is seeking proposals from private-sector organizations interested in helping the state expand its electric vehicle charging network.

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet issued a final Request for Proposals Thursday to build up to 37 stations along Kentucky interstates and parkways after receiving approval from the Federal Highway Administration.

“Kentucky has taken a national leadership role in the fast-growing electric vehicle sector. Team Kentucky is not just leading, we are emerging as the Electric Vehicle Capital of America,” said Gov. Beshear. “We are making sure no part of Kentucky is left out of this brighter future we’re building.”

Proposals from interested parties are due by Aug. 24 at 4 p.m. Central time.
