Rhode Island Top 50 Project: Electric Vehicle Charging Stations for Rhode Island

The TOP 50 project intends to implement a network of 50 charging stations that will allow Rhode Islanders to drive and re-charge electric vehicles throughout the state. We need your support to find locations that will best serve Rhode Island. If there is a location that you think would be great for electric vehicle charging, please suggest it by clicking the link below: Suggest a Charging Station location! More Information Why Electric Vehicles in Rhode Island?    Small State = less range anxiety: The small size of Rhode Island make it the ideal location for electric vehicles with a limited range. Energy Security: Using hybrid and plug-in electric vehicles instead of conventional vehicles can help reduce U.S. reliance on imported petroleum and take advantage of renewable energy sources in Rhode Island. Better Fuel Economy = Lower Operating Costs: PHEVs and EVs can reduce fuel costs dramatically because of the low cost of electricity relative to conventional fuel. Most EVs operate at an MPGe (Miles per Gallon Equivalent) of  90-110! Zero Emissions = Improved Air Quality: Hybrid and plug-in electric vehicles can have significant emissions benefits over conventional vehicles, including zero tailpipe emissions during all-electric operation for better air quality.  Electric Drive Vehicles:
