Construction to begin on Florida toll road that will charge EVs
In Florida, Wesh reported that the Central Florida Expressway Authority recently broke ground on the new SR-516 toll road, which will eventually link Highway 27 to State Road 429. Once construction is done, the electric vehicle charging will only work for a fleet of test EVs, according to the report. However, the end goal is for the expressway to charge all types of EVs. The Central Florida Expressway Authority’s governing board unanimously approved construction back in December for the first phase for over $218 million, with the total estimated construction cost being $534 million. The entire expressway is expected to be finished by 2027, the report added.
