HARRISBURG, Pa. (WTAJ) – The Shapiro administration is planning another round of investments to bring more electric vehicle stations to businesses, including a Pizza Hut right on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
The $7.1 million is part of Round 1B of federal funding for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI). The Shapiro administration said it demonstrates its commitment to fighting climate change while providing travelers with cleaner, safer transportation options built by Pennsylvanians.
“With every investment in EV infrastructure, we are making clean transportation more accessible to Pennsylvanians,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “These awards will help us move to the next phase of EV adoption.”
In addition to several grocery stores, funding will also be provided to a Pizza Hut in Breezewood on the PA Turnpike (I-76) and a Burger King in White Haven, just off I-476, commonly referred to as the “Northeast Extension” of the Turnpike.
