La Autoridad del Valle de Tennessee (TVA) y el Departamento de Medio Ambiente y Conservaci\u00f3n del estado (TDEC) pretenden desarrollar una red estatal de carga r\u00e1pida para veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos. En las carreteras interestatales y en las principales autopistas habr\u00e1 una estaci\u00f3n cada 80 km.<\/p>\n
El TDEC y la TVA ya han firmado un acuerdo para colaborar y financiar la red prevista. Calculan que su iniciativa a\u00f1adir\u00eda unos 50 nuevos puntos de recarga, duplicando la red de carga r\u00e1pida existente. Actualmente s\u00f3lo hay 24 puntos de recarga r\u00e1pida en Tennessee abiertos a todos los conductores y que admiten ambos est\u00e1ndares de recarga.<\/p>\n
En lugar de trabajar con un proveedor existente, el Departamento y la TDA, la primera y a\u00fan mayor agencia de planificaci\u00f3n regional del gobierno federal, quieren encargar una estaci\u00f3n de recarga a medida. La TDA presta servicio a unos diez millones de personas a trav\u00e9s de la energ\u00eda, el medio ambiente y el desarrollo econ\u00f3mico. Para el nuevo corredor y equipamiento, la TDA est\u00e1 trabajando con un grupo de compa\u00f1\u00edas el\u00e9ctricas locales para dise\u00f1ar toda una experiencia que incluir\u00e1 el acceso a servicios en las paradas. A\u00fan tienen que especificar la potencia de carga.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

TDEC and TVA say they will leverage various funding sources and anticipate a $20 million project cost. TDEC has committed 15 per cent, the maximum allowable, of the State\u2019s Volkswagen Diesel Settlement. Approximately $5 million from this fund is expected to be allocated to fast charging infrastructure along corridors. The remainder of the project will be funded by TVA and other project partners, who have yet to be named.<\/p>\n
The agreement reflects Drive Electric Tennessee recommendations, a consortium that includes TDEC, TVA, and the Tennessee Department of Transportation. Their goal is to have 200,000 light-duty EVs in Tennessee by 2028. The Needs Assessment identified highway corridor charging as the best candidate for public investment. Other EV charging use cases like workplace or residential charging will be left for private or public-private investment based on demand.<\/p>\n
As of December 2020, 11,034 light-duty EVs were registered in Tennessee, the agencies report. These numbers are likely to climb when perhaps drivers take inspiration from manufacturers. Both VW and GM are building or converting plants in Tennessee to produce electric cars in Chattanooga<\/a> and Springhill<\/a> respectively.<\/p>\n
