A second station is set to open next week at New Stanton, located at Exit 77 westbound.
“We are excited to continue offering more options for customers who want accessible, on-route EV charging,” said PA Turnpike CEO Mark Compton. “Our EV charging program offers reliable and convenient options along our roadway, improving customer experience while also reflecting our long-term commitment to being a good neighbor across the Commonwealth. Beyond meeting customer demand, supporting electric vehicle adoption enhances infrastructure resilience, supports renewable energy goals and reduces vehicle emissions.”
The Shapiro Administration said the new stations are part of the Turnpike’s EV charging initiative, a partnership with Applegreen Electric.
The program aims to add 80 stations at all 17 service plazas by the end of 2027.
