History

From 2012 to 2015, the Washington State Department of Transportation and Plug-In North Central Washington built 32 charging stations at popular destinations along the Cascade Loop, spaced 25 to 50 miles (40 to 80 km) apart, to serve electric vehicles.[3][4] Additional charging stations belonging to city governments, businesses and homeowners were added to the byway's list of electric charging stations in 2017.[5][6]
