With the hot days of summer now upon us, the California Department of Transportation will begin work on a $4.9 million project to install Zero Emissions Vehicle Charging Stations (ZEV) on Interstate 10 near Banning, Blythe and Yucaipa, weather permitting.
With more drivers moving into electric vehicles, the addition of the new ZEV charging stations will be highly welcomed at the rest stops, especially those on longer trips with their somewhat limited mileage vehicles.

The project was awarded to Kanaan Construction, Inc., of Azusa. Crews will be working in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties at
