Fast-charging electric vehicle stations are now available in Glasgow, marking another step in Kentucky’s effort to expand its EV charging network.
Governor Andy Beshear announced that the fast-charging electric vehicle stations are available at Glasgow’s Casey’s store through the Team Kentucky’s EV Charging Program. Casey’s is located at 557 S.L. Rogers Wells Blvd, across from Shoney’s.
“Electric vehicles are no longer the technology of the future, they’re here now,” Beshear said. “That’s why Team Kentucky is continuing its work to ensure our families and businesses have the charging network needed to get where they are going.”
The Glasgow Casey’s location is the sixth station to open in Kentucky as part of the federally funded National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program, or NEVI, which is administered by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. Other NEVI-funded sites are already operating in Berea, Grayson, Hazard, Richmond and Sparta as the state continues to build out its charging network.
The project was approved in May 2024 and awarded $706,000 through Team Kentucky’s EV Charging Program.
The Glasgow site includes four charging ports capable of providing up to 400 kilowatts each, designed to cut down charging time for EV drivers, according to a transportation cabinet press release.
Casey’s serves as the host site, while Francis Energy built, maintains and operates the charging equipment.
“Opening our first EV charging stations in Kentucky is an exciting milestone for Francis Energy. We are grateful to Governor Beshear and the entire team at KYTC for their partnership with Francis Energy to provide equitable, affordable, reliable, and safe access to public charging stations across the Commonwealth,” Francis Energy Founder and CEO David Jankowsky said. “We look forward to continuing to focus on sustainability and innovation in communities across the state.”
