MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Memphis Light, Gas and Water is joining a statewide electric vehicle charging network.
A grant will now allow the utility company to upgrade its infrastructure to be part of a network of 32 charging units on interstates and major highways.
MLGW was one of 12 entities that received $5.2 million from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and the Tennessee Valley Authority.
The network aims to reduce barriers to EV adoption by 2026.
