Research Professor David Greene recently was quoted in an article published by Fast Company, a leading business media brand focused on innovation, about how a lack of charging stations for electric vehicles deters consumers from purchasing EVs. The article is titled “Everybody Wants EV Charging Stations, but Barely Anyone Is Building Them.”
“It’s 180 miles from Knoxville to Nashville. Supposedly there’s a [direct current] fast charger at a Cracker Barrel in Cookeville, which is almost exactly halfway, but it almost never works,” Greene said. “The fact that the range is limited and the recharging time can be quite long if one does not have access to fast charging, that’s another problem.”
