I read back in July that the electric highway would be in place by November 30 in WA state. Since I had not heard an update I decided to do a little calling around to find out how things were going. Today I spoke with Deborah Rapoport, for AeroVironment who said that there had been some delays but that things were still moving forward but she couldn’t really go into detail. I called around some more and got ahold of Tonia Buell, of WSDOT Communications who filled in some details. Tonia told me that there were delays with securing lease agreements with some of the locations and that they were still ongoing, it was expected that they would get worked through soon. She said of the 9 planned stations, 4 had signed lease agreements and were expected to begin installation by the end of this month and should be available for use by the end of the year. So, that’s the latest info I could find, looks like the DCQC network is on the verge of becoming a reality, which is very good news, especially with the cold, whet whether coming!
