Ohio Turnpike Commission adds 80 EV charging units along toll road

Ohio & Mahoning Valley - Those traveling along the Ohio Turnpike in an electric vehicle won't have to worry about finding places to charge up.
The Ohio Turnpike's EV charging infrastructure has 64 Tesla Supercharger units and 16 Electrify America charging units between eight service plazas.
Two of those service plazas are in the Mahoning Valley. The Glacier Hills and Mahoning Valley plazas are at milepost 237.2 in New Springfield.
"Providing EV owners with publicly accessible and convenient EV fast chargers at numerous service plazas on the Ohio Turnpike reduces range anxiety by enabling our toll customers to take longer road trips," said Ferzan Ahmed, executive director of the turnpike commission.
Each turnpike plaza is open 24 hours a day, including non-stop access to these chargers.
The other plazas with charging ports on the Ohio Turnpike are as follows:
- Indian Meadow (westbound) and Tiffin River (eastbound) at milepost 20.8 in West Unity
- Blue Heron (westbound) and Wyandot (eastbound) at milepost 76.9 in Genoa
- Great Lakes (westbound) and Towpath (eastbound) at milepost 170.1 in Broadview Heights
