Chester County, Pennsylvania, has begun installing 11 level 2 EV charging stations across the county, funded by $645,609 in Community Project Funding secured by U.S. Rep. Chrissy Houlahan and supported by PennDOT and DVRPC. Officials broke ground Friday at the Chester Valley Trailhead at Exton Park, marking the start of the rollout. The county reports having the highest number of registered EVs per capita of any Pennsylvania county.
Why it matters: The project demonstrates how federal Community Project Funding can accelerate local charging infrastructure deployment, particularly in counties with high EV adoption rates. Procurement teams and CPOs should note the multi agency coordination model involving federal, state and regional planning bodies to deliver level 2 infrastructure at public sites.
