Jackson Approves Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

Jackson, Mississippi, has approved an agreement to install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in downtown locations, funded by a $160,000 grant from Entergy Services LLC. The city will cover annual electricity costs estimated at $600 per station, with the installations expected in early 2025. In Maryland, the Department of Agriculture will begin registering service agencies and technicians for EV fueling equipment starting January 1, 2025, reflecting the growing adoption of electric vehicles. Meanwhile, Colorado is experiencing a significant boom in EV sales, with over 25% of new vehicles sold being electric, attributed to state and federal incentives. Governor Jared Polis announced the installation of 33 new fast chargers as part of the state's EV Fast-Charging Corridors Program, which has seen over $10 million invested since its launch. Despite a reduction in state tax credits, the number of charging stations continues to expand, supporting the increasing demand for EVs.
