Charging station network launches to allow electric-car travel on Utah freeways

Recharging takes 20-30 minutes, costs $12 to $20 — but it’s cheaper than a tank of gasoline.

Much like gasoline stations now dot Utah’s highways, the state took a first step Monday toward creating a system of quick recharging stations for electric vehicles — to allow them to make long-distance trips conveniently.

As part of that, Maverik may no longer be called just a gas station chain. It also started selling electricity at quick-charge stations at two key points — in Fillmore and Washington City near St. George — to help electric cars travel Interstate 15.

I really believe that all municipal vehicle fleets should switch over to electric: these are cars that drive limited distances within a city and can be easily recharged. That would help with economies of scale and density.
