EV charging stations now available in Glasgow

GLASGOW, Ky. – A Glasgow gas station now offers fast-charging electric vehicle stations.

According to the office of Gov. Andy Beshear, the stations are funded through Team Kentucky’s EV Charging Program and can be found at Casey’s Store in Glasgow.

“Electric vehicles are no longer the technology of the future, they’re here now,” Beshear said. “That’s why Team Kentucky is continuing its work to ensure our families and businesses have the charging network needed to get where they are going.”

The Casey’s Store at 557 S.L. Rogers Wells Boulevard is the sixth station in Kentucky to open as part of a federally funded National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program administered by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, officials say.

According to officials, the Glasgow site has four ports that can charge up to 400 kilowatts each. Each site must also be accessible to the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week and work with most EV models, the governor’s office says.

Other sites are open in Berea, Grayson, Hazard, Richmond and Sparta.

The Glasgow site was approved in May 2024, with $706,000 in funding awarded through the EV Charging Program.
