10 New EV Fast Chargers To Be Installed In Indiana

Ten new EV fast chargers will be installed along travel corridors in Indiana. They will be located at three sites:

• Battery Innovation Center – An advanced battery research facility
• JJ’s Travel Plaza – A fueling destination located along US 31
• The Beef House Restaurant and Dinner Theatre – A fueling and dining destination along the I-74 corridor

US 31 spans the whole state of Indiana and extends north into upper Michigan and south into the bottom of Alabama. It is an important travel corridor in the region. I-74 covers Indiana more east to west, but on angle, and crosses all of Illinois in a similar direction. 

Some people might say installing 10 new fast chargers in one state does not matter, but it does because they will be located along travel corridors, which is exactly what is needed to support EV drivers on road trips. The solution to range anxiety is not having EVs with 600 miles of range. It is expanding public EV charging networks so there are enough public charging options. When there are public EV chargers every 30 miles located on major travel corridors no EV needs a huge range. Further, many hotels, motels, B&Bs, towns, and cities have their own public EV chargers, so there may already be more chargers than uneducated people assume.

TurnOnGreen partnered with Total Energy Solutions Company, LLC, to install the new Indiana EV chargers. “The deployment of our 240kW high-power charging systems across these Indiana locations represents another milestone in TurnOnGreen’s infrastructure growth strategy. We remain focused on disciplined capital deployment, strategic partnerships, and scalable installations designed to support durable recurring revenue opportunities,” said Marcus Charuvastra, President of TurnOnGreen. 

Another benefit for these ‘small’ EV charger installations is that they add to existing public EV charging networks. In other words, they don’t exist in isolation, meaning in this case it’s not ten, it’s ten plus all the public EV chargers in Indiana. Fast chargers support EV travel across individual  states and within an entire region. Just five months ago, there was news about 8 new public EV charging hubs to be installed in the Midwest.

The new charging hubs will be in the Midwest mostly, with several Southern locations too:

• Vernon Hills, Illinois
• McHenry, Illinois
• Terre Haute, Indiana
• Parkville, Missouri
• Kearney, Missouri
• Blackwell, Oklahoma
• Waco, Texas
• Little Rock, Arkansas.

The large-scale EV charger installations are taking place as well. IONNA and EVgo have installed over 2,000 public EV chargers in just the last year or so.
