New EV Charging Stations Open at Columbia Basin College

Columbia Basin College (CBC), located in the Tri-Cities region of Washington State, USA, has unveiled new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations on its campus. The stations are available to students, staff, and visitors, making it easier for EV drivers in the area to charge while going about their daily activities.

In the EU, the AFIR regulation requires member states to ensure minimum charging coverage along major transport corridors, pushing both public and private entities to act.
