PennDOT awards one of 12 new EV charging stations to Route 222 site in Richmond Township, Berks County

Pennsylvania's Department of Transportation has announced 12 new electric vehicle charging stations across the state, with one location confirmed for a convenience store on Route 222 in Richmond Township, northern Berks County. The rollout forms part of PennDOT's broader infrastructure programme, though no timeline or technical specifications were disclosed in the Reading Eagle report.

Why it matters: The award signals continued state level procurement activity in Pennsylvania and offers a potential supply or installation contract for firms working on highway corridor charging. Convenience store partnerships remain a common model for accessible, high traffic EV infrastructure.
