MANKATO, Minn. (AP) - Joe Sullivan drives a Tesla Model 3 and is one of the growing number of Mankato residents who has an electric vehicle.
Sullivan, a member of the the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission, said he bought his EV two years ago because it’s practical and could be a research project for him to study the benefits and drawbacks of having an electric car.
The electric vehicle market had more barriers five years ago. But a rise in charging station infrastructure and a decline in costs are spurring an increase in electric vehicle ownership in the area.
