New EV charging network opening, from the mountains to the sea

A pilot project is making an electric vehicle road trip in Northern California a little cheaper, easier and with a little less range anxiety.

A fast-charging network, known as Drive the ARC, is bringing more than 50 new electric stations installed at about 25 sites from Monterey to Lake Tahoe.

The network — free to EV drivers with a smart phone app and a common charger, is an international, public-private collaboration aimed at supporting the spread of zero emission vehicles. Many sites are open, and the network is slated for completion this fall.
