PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE MAY TRY CHARGING STATIONS, SOLAR FIELDS

The Pennsylvania Turnpike reportedly wants to electrify portions of the PA toll road. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports the agency is working with the Ohio Turnpike on a pilot project to create a charging station in the next 18 months. The station would straddle the Ohio-Pennsylvania border so drivers can power up before they hit the turnpike. The agency leaders are also planning to place solar fields at some maintenance facilities.
