Electric Vehicle Charging
North Carolina’s electric cooperatives are working to create a statewide network of EV charging stations, enabling more consumers in both rural and urban areas to adopt this technology.

As more electric vehicles hit the roads, electric cooperatives see increased access to charging stations as a way to open the door to more travelers, increase tourism and bring economic benefits to co-op communities. Electric vehicles are also a key part of how co-ops are working to use electricity in new and innovative ways, which will benefit the grid, the environment and co-op members and communities.

By filling charging station gaps in North Carolina’s non-urban areas, electric cooperatives are encouraging greater EV adoption, which ultimately promotes environmental stewardship and supports commerce and tourism in all areas of the state.

With 31 stations in place at 23 locations across the state, drivers can feel confident in their ability to travel to and within rural communities, not just urban centers.
