Electric Highway is Coming

From WSDOT:

This project will add electric vehicle charging stations along Interstate 5 North of Everett and South of Olympia. These stations will support the coming generation of plug-in hybrids and electric vehicles.

This is a great public-private partnership. One of the issues adopting new technologies is that the infrastructure doesn’t exist to support them. And there is little incentive to build the infrastructure to support the technologies until they exist in critical numbers.
