At a recent event, the State of New Mexico not only showed off a very important new EV charging station, but they kicked off a round of EV charging station construction that’s going to make a big difference for the state’s residents and people passing through.The little town of Socorro, New Mexico, isn’t known for much. For most travelers, all they’ll see of the area is a restaurant and/or a hotel.
Not only did this make trips from city to city problematic with an EV, but it also made it tough for locals to seriously consider one . Even with home charging, having no stations along I-25 meant you’re basically restricted to a circle with a radius that’s half of an EV’s range, and then subtract some more for 80 MPH freeway speeds and hills/mountains.
The Dieselgate money also went for a few stations in other parts of the state, with perhaps the most important one being the one under construction right now in Elephant Butte, a small city right next to Truth or Consequences and I-25. While a little bit further off the highway than most EV charging stations, it’s still a great place for people to stop and charge when taking that trip.
While not listed on Chargepoint’s website, videos of the station on Albuquerque media websites showed that it has CCS and CHAdeMO ports, so even people taking a LEAF out on the open road can still take advantage of the better charging availability. Once that’s operational, a trip from El Paso to Albuquerque will be possible even on most shorter range EVs.It turns out that New Mexico is just getting started putting in more stations.
