Michigan announced a new, real-world prototype program known as the Mobility Charging Hub, which the state said will help to enable companies to transition fleets to electric commercial vehicles (EVs). The program will also serve the dual purpose of supporting passenger vehicle charging.

“Freight trucks drive commerce, deliver goods, and connect businesses throughout the nation, which is why it is critical to prepare this industry for the future,” Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II, said. “Over the past five years, our administration has made progress investing in infrastructure and positioning Michigan as the best place to innovate the future and we are taking that one step further with this ‘truck stop of the future.’”
