With almost every single automobile manufacturer now producing an electric option, more than 400,000 plug-in electric vehicles have been sold in the United States since 2008. As the electrical grid continues to mature, an increasing number of electric vehicle charging stations are popping up all over the country. From state to state, the smart grid is enabling energy providers to deliver new, clean sources of electricity to our households and making it possible for us to charge our vehicles no matter where the road takes us.
