Arrival of EVs sparks development of convenient charging stations

Connecting all the circuits to create an infrastructure of charging stations for electric vehicles is a monumental undertaking being addressed by numerous sectors, including OEMs, governmental agencies, utilities, electrical contractors and a wide assortment of equipment vendors eager to plug into the anticipated proliferation of electric vehicles (EV) within a few years.
