Francis Energy opens two fast-charging stations in eastern Kentucky under federal NEVI programme
By Eve
Francis Energy has opened fast-charging stations in Campton and Morehead, bringing Kentucky's total to eight sites under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure programme administered by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. Each station features at least four ports of 150 kilowatts or more, operates 24/7, and is accessible to most EV models. Developers must fund at least 20% of construction and operational costs and maintain operations for a minimum of five years.
Why it matters: The rollout demonstrates how state-administered federal NEVI funds are driving CPO deployment along interstate corridors, with clear technical and operational requirements that shape procurement specifications. The 20% co-funding and five-year maintenance obligations set baseline commercial terms for developers bidding on similar state programmes.
