WASHINGTON — Virginia is using part of its Volkswagen emissions test-cheating settlement to pay for a statewide network of electric vehicle charging stations, and has chosen Los Angeles-based EVgo Services LLC as the lead contractor.
EVgo operates what is currently the largest public Direct Current electric vehicle fast charging network in the country, with more than 1,000 stations in 34 states, including several in the Washington and Baltimore areas.
EVgo’s 1,000 station to come on line is in Falls Church, Virginia.
The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, the agency in charge of allocating Virginia’s $93.6 million share of the Volkswagen settlement, issued a request for proposals for a statewide EV charging network in September. The DEQ is allowed to allocate up to 15 percent of the settlement money, or $14 million, for electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
