Environmentally friendly EVs: More charging stations as numbers grow

Coming up next month (September 14–22) is Drive Electric Week, a national effort to increase awareness of electric vehicles (EVs) and their benefits. Two million electric vehicles were sold worldwide in 2018, and the auto industry expects another 21 million electric vehicles¹ to roll off assembly lines over the next decade. EV prices are coming down, and charging stations are becoming more widespread. Go to evolveky.org to find Drive Electric Week events near you.

Earlier this year, we strengthened our commitment to clean air. We met our goal of installing 20 publicly accessible EV charging stations throughout Kentucky. That makes up 17 percent of all public charging stations throughout the state.

Visit lge-ku.com/ev to find a list of our EV charging stations and more information for those considering going electric. This online education tool has plenty of information to help you decide whether an EV is right for you and, if so, what steps to take next.
