Drive Clean Indiana eyeing Evansville as its next big E-V charging hub
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) – Drive Clean Indiana held a seminar at Red Bank Library on Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure opportunities in Evansville. The non-profit organization is a subsidiary of US Department of Energy, which has begun rolling out their GOEVIN initiative for 2025. Executive Director Carl Lisek says GOEVIN is aimed at raising support for EV charging stations in an effort to find potential grant applicants to build infrastructure with. GOEVIN is striving to build strong partnerships with local businesses and government bodies that are committed to making Indiana green for years to come. Only three percent of vehicles registered in Indiana are EV's. GOEVIN aims to change this by establishing more charging stations in the state, giving Hoosiers more choices. The program has received no federal funding thanks to Volkswagen who has pledged nearly four million towards the construction of hubs in Indiana. Over three million of that will build Direct Current Fast Charging (D-C-F-C) stations. The price tag is a hefty one for these chargers due to their power usage and ability to charge vehicles quickly. Lisek and his team also want to implement Level two charging stations in Evansville. These stations are catered toward EV drivers that travel long distance and have down time for a slower charge. Due to less energy demands, the non-profit has allocated around one hundred and seventy thousand for the construction of these stations. The Drive Clean Indiana team is committed to making Evansville a cleaner and safer place to live. Although there are critics Lisek says, 'You are going to run into that no matter the technology. Education is key, showing success, getting people behind the wheels of electric vehicles, I think that has been one of our successes.' With the help of Evansville officials, Lisek team hopes to have Evansville working as a fully functional EV charging hub by late December of 2026. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

North High School students debut electrifying cMoe exhibit
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) — North High School students are showing off their hard work with a brand-new exhibit at cMoe in Evansville. The exhibit was entirely designed, built and installed by the school's engineering students. The project gives students a hands-on way to learn about STEM — especially how mechanical energy can be turned into electrical energy — all by riding a stationary bicycle. The faster they pedal, the more energy they create and the more light bulbs they can power. Students tell us it was a one-of-a-kind opportunity to combine what they've learned in the classroom with something the entire community can enjoy. The exhibit is in the Art-maker Studio portion of the museum. Officials say they are excited about future collaborations. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
