BENNINGTON â To paraphrase an old song, the future for electric vehicle ownership in Vermont is getting better all the time.
The state Agency of Transportation has received federal alternative fuel corridor designations for additional highway segments, most of which pass through Bennington. That news is one note in a larger effort to drive up the level of EV ownership â and to encourage growth of recharging infrastructure along state, federal and local highways.
In a release, the state agency said the Federal Highway Administration has named U.S. Route 7 between Bennington and the Interstate-189 interchange in South Burlington, and Route 9 between the Bennington-New York border and the Vermont-New Hampshire border as âcorridor-readyâ for alternative fuel infrastructure development.
