Glasgow Casey's opens four 400 kW fast chargers under Kentucky NEVI programme
By Eve
A Casey's convenience store in Glasgow, Kentucky has opened four fast charging ports, each capable of delivering up to 400 kW, as the sixth NEVI funded site in the state. The project received 706,000 dollars in May 2024 through Team Kentucky's EV Charging Program, with Francis Energy building and operating the equipment. Five other NEVI sites are already live in Berea, Grayson, Hazard, Richmond and Sparta as Kentucky expands its federally funded charging network.
Why it matters: The 706,000 dollar award and 400 kW per port specification offer a benchmark for NEVI project costs and technical standards in rural US corridors. Francis Energy's role as operator shows the build, own, operate model gaining traction in state led programmes, relevant for CPOs tracking public sector procurement patterns.
