HAMMOND — Daphne Dixon is on the road again, driving a Rivian R1S electric vehicle from coast to coast to test the nation's burgeoning EV charging station network.
Dixon, executive director of Live Green Network, has been driving 4,100 miles across 17 states from Norwalk, Connecticut to Tacoma, Washington. She stopped at the Indiana Welcome Center just off the Borman Expressway in Hammond Tuesday morning to test out the EV chargers there.
One of theGOEVIN charging stations was down; the other was charging higher rates than were common on the rest of the trip. It was more in line with the cost of getting gas when it's normally cheaper.
