Alabama Power Celebrates 1 Million Electric Vehicles On U.S. Roads
By Katie Bolton
An all-time high of 1 million electric vehicles (EVs) are on roads throughout the United States as the number of EV options from automakers and charging infrastructure continues to grow.
“Advancements in technology, specifically battery technology, are really playing into the science behind the growth of EVs on the roads in America,” said Alabama Power Electric Transportation Manager Cedric Daniels. “There are more EV models available and they are more affordable. A lot of the batteries are getting cheaper, they have more capacity, so you can drive longer distances on a single charge, and they are charging faster, which is more convenient.
”To celebrate this milestone of 1 million EVs, Alabama Power joins the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) and other utility-industry partners to promote the benefits of driving electric.”
“As cities and communities seek smart, sustainable mobility solutions, electric transportation is a critical component – including EVs, public transit and charging infrastructure,” EEI said in a news release. “Electric transportation is a win-win. It meets customer needs, provides environmental benefits, and supports America’s energy security.”
