So what do you do while waiting for the car to charge? Read a book? Look at stupid cat videos on your phone? I suspect that there will be a few random hookups at these charging station.

I work EMS in Jackson. This location is horrible and dangerous.

quote:And out of town folks needing a charge won't know that Lynch Street is probably one of the least safe places in Jackson. He must have some free property or owns property that he needs to make an income producing property. Only thing I could possibly think of. Otherwise, if he was to catch the I20 corridor, he would have gone over toward Pearson Rd in Pearl or something over near Springridge in Clinton. I bet there aren't 10 Evs within a 5 mile radius of this charging station.
So it will be located West of Jackson State University. It will be convenient for I20 drivers but will be out of the way for people driving North on I55.

Has this guy not looked at a Road map?
There is an interstate 22 that goes from Birmingham, Alabama to the outskirts or Memphis bypassing Jackson, Mississippi. If I am going from Atlanta to Memphis, I am going to take I-22. Screw 20 to 55, just to charge my car.

ETA - wait a minute. Lynch doesn't even have an exit off of the interstate. You have to get off at Ellis or Robinson Rd Ext and travel a couple of miles on Hwy 80. If you have body armor and a well oiled AR you can eat at Crechelle's. Family restaurant that has been there 50-60 years.

This way, you're more of a stationary target.

When you plug in an EV the drivetrain is disabled. If someone does feel threatened they have to get out of their car and disconnect it or the car won’t move.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) shall establish a competitive grant program to fill gaps in publicly accessible electric vehicle charging and hydrogen, propane, and natural gas fueling infrastructure in community locations, such as a parking facilities, public schools, public parks, or along public roads. Funding of up to 80% of project costs will be available for both development-phase planning activities and the acquisition and installation of charging or alternative fueling infrastructure. Five percent of the grant fund awarded may be used for educational and community engagement activities to develop and implement education programs through partnerships with schools, community organizations, and vehicle dealerships to support the use of zero-emission vehicles and associated infrastructure. DOT must prioritize projects that expand access to charging and alternative fueling infrastructure within rural areas, low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, and communities with limited parking space or a high ratio of multi-unit dwellings to single-family homes. Eligible entities include states, metropolitan planning organizations, local governments, political subdivisions, and tribal governments. Additional funding eligibility and considerations will apply. (Reference Public Law 117-58 and 23 U.S. Code 151)

INFORMATION: The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program Guidance
quote:
C. Equity Considerations Many of the burdens from the transportation and energy systems have been historically and disproportionately borne by disadvantaged communities. Unequal distribution of benefits from the transportation and energy systems has prevented disadvantaged communities and minority-owned and women-owned businesses from realizing equitable benefits from these systems, while other historic barriers to transportation have made facilities inaccessible to individuals with disabilities. For
these reasons, the NEVI Formula Program will emphasize equity considerations at its inception to avoid exacerbating existing disparities in the transportation system and to develop a convenient, reliable, affordable, and equitable charging experience for all users.
NEVI Formula Program investments in EV charging infrastructure have the potential to:
• Improve clean transportation access through the location of chargers;
• Decrease the transportation energy cost burden by enabling reliable access to affordable
charging;
• Reduce environmental exposures to transportation emissions;
• Increase parity in clean energy technology access and adoption;
• Increase access to low-cost capital to increase equitable adoption of more costly, clean energy
technologies like EVs and EV chargers;
• Increase the clean energy job pipeline, job training, and enterprise creation in disadvantaged
communities;
• Increase energy resilience;
• Provide charging infrastructure for transit and shared-ride vehicles;
• Increase equitable access to the electric grid; and
• Minimize gentrification-induced displacement result from new EV charging infrastructure.
Plans should be developed through engagement with rural, underserved, and disadvantaged communities to ensure that diverse views are heard and considered throughout the planning process, and to ensure that the deployment, installation, operation, and use of EV charging infrastructure achieves equitable and fair distribution of benefits and services. State Plans should reflect this engagement.
State Plans should explain how the State will deliver projects under the NEVI Formula Program that, consistent with E.O. 14008 and the Interim Justice40 Guidance22 issued by the White House and USDOT, target at least 40 percent of the benefits towards disadvantaged communities. Consistent with the Justice40 Interim Guidance, USDOT and USDOE have developed an EV Charging Justice40 Mapping Tool23 that States are encouraged to utilize during the development of their Plans.

D. Labor and Equitable Workforce Considerations Installing, operating, and maintaining the NEVI Formula Program’s EV charging infrastructure will create new opportunities for workers in the electrical and other construction trades, while also creating work for the skilled incumbent workforce around the country. To ensure safety and high- quality delivery, each State Plan should consider the training and experience level of the workforce that is installing and maintaining EV charging infrastructure. This includes ensuring the workforce is trained in high quality training programs like the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program (EVITP). To help meet the workforce needs of the NEVI Formula Program, each State Plan should also consider steps that will grow and diversify their local workforce. This includes utilizing geographic, economic,

or other hiring preferences or innovative contracting approaches authorized by law to maximize job creation and economic benefits for local communities. This also includes taking proactive steps to encourage broader participation among women, Black, Latino, Asian American Pacific, Indigenous, and other underrepresented groups in the development of those workforces. States should also consider how they can expand registered apprenticeship, including through the use of apprentices on installation projects, and invest in entry-level training programs, like quality pre-apprenticeship programs. Consistent with Justice4024, States should also consider how disadvantaged communities will benefit from this added job growth. Strong labor, training, and installation standards will help produce a nationwide network of 500,000 EV chargers by 2030 that provides a convenient, reliable, affordable, and equitable charging experience for all users. See section VI-C for additional information on labor and workforce requirements that may be included in the minimum standards and requirements to be established by the Secretary of Transportation, in coordination with the Secretary of Energy and in consultation with relevant stakeholders.25

I pine to see a dash cam police cruiser chasing an EV full of bruthuhs screaming through the hood then slowly winding down.

Police cruisers won’t have batteries they’ll have pedals to make chases more equitable

They are superchargers now at bass pro in Pearl. That sounds like a better stop.
Smart move by Basspro. Go spend money shopping while you charge.
Though I put the total number of Mississippi bass pro shoppers that own an EV at less than 5 total
