New electric vehicle charging station to open in Clearfield County
In total, Pennsylvania now has 11 stations that have been funded by the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program. Since opening, the stations have provided over 13,000 charging sessions, which powered 1.5 million miles of driving for those cars. It's estimated that Pennsylvania has reduced CO2 emissions by over 700,000 pounds.
Drivers of hybrids, electric vehicles will see new charges in Pennsylvania
Here's where you can find the new stations:
Kwik Fill in Kylertown, Clearfield County along Interstate 80 (Exit 133),
Pilot Flying J Travel Center in Mill Hall, Clinton County along I-80 (Exit 173),
Love's Travel Stop in Mifflinville, Columbia County along I-80 (Exit 242).
'Governor Shapiro has set a clear directive to get things done for Pennsylvanians, and the PennDOT team is meeting that,' Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Secretary Mike Carroll said. 'We've been a national leader in the NEVI program, and we will continue to get stuff done for the people of Pennsylvania.'
The 11 stations exist due to a $7.2 million investment in the state's EV charger network.

Smart Mobility Maker
Since its inception, Alt Mobility has experienced rapid growth, deploying over 13,000 EVs and operating in more than 30 cities. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. When Dev Arora co-founded Alt Mobility in 2022, he had a clear goal in mind: to make electric mobility more accessible and practical for India's expanding transportation landscape. With his experience in startup innovation and a keen sense for market opportunities, Arora recognised that one of the biggest hurdles to EV adoption wasn't the technology—it was financing. "Traditional lenders weren't built for the EV revolution," Arora, Co-founder and CEO of Alt Mobility, explained. "We needed to develop a new model, one that caters to both businesses and everyday drivers." This new approach led to the creation of Alt Mobility—an EV leasing and asset management platform that goes beyond just providing vehicles. The startup has built a comprehensive ecosystem that includes maintenance, servicing, roadside assistance, and access to an extensive charging and service network. Since its inception, Alt Mobility has experienced rapid growth, deploying over 13,000 EVs and operating in more than 30 cities. With an asset under management (AUM) exceeding INR 250 crore, it now caters to both commercial fleets and individual drivers, offering flexible and cost-effective leasing solutions. "For many people, purchasing an EV feels risky," Arora noted. "We eliminate that uncertainty by providing all-inclusive plans that cover service, warranty, insurance, and even 24/7 support." At the core of Alt's offerings is its proprietary FleetOS platform, which utilises AI, IoT, and telematics to monitor vehicle health, track usage, and ensure proactive maintenance. This not only prolongs the life of the vehicles but also maximises uptime—essential for businesses that depend on having vehicles ready for revenue generation. What sets Alt Mobility apart is its Drive-to-Own model, which enables drivers to gradually shift from leasing to ownership. This approach has been particularly beneficial for individuals who lack access to traditional financing, fostering economic empowerment and long-term asset creation. "Ownership is a powerful thing, especially for those working to build their livelihoods," Arora emphasised. "We aimed to create a pathway that makes that possible." Scaling the business definitely came with its challenges. Getting customers on board with a new approach to owning and managing vehicles meant we had to focus on education and building trust. "Alt tackled this by blending innovation with robust support systems and forming partnerships throughout the EV value chain—from manufacturers to charging networks," he explained. Looking to the future, Dev sees opportunities to branch out into four-wheeled cargo vehicles and electric buses, strengthening their foothold in key markets across India and playing a crucial role in the nation's shift towards clean mobility. "The future of transportation in India is electric. We're committed to fostering a cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable future for India's mobility landscape," he added. Facts:

Aussies erupt over new $363 per year tax hit
There are fears that electric vehicle (EV) sales could be affected if a road-user charge (RUC) is introduced to level the playing field with other cars. At the moment, EVs don't attract a tax for using Aussie roads like those in internal combustion engines (ICE). But ahead of the government's economic roundtable, there have been calls for EV drivers to pay their fair share with a brand new levy designed just for them. Electric Vehicle Council's (EVC) head of legal, policy and advocacy, Aman Gaur, told Yahoo Finance it doesn't make any sense to him why Australia would go down this path. "The simple principle around taxes is that you tax the things you don't want to see, like smoking or alcohol," he said. "Why are we taxing something that is actually trying to make Australia and the country safer from climate change? It just seems very counterintuitive." RELATED Major EV warning as true battery range for big brands like Tesla and BYD exposed ATO $2,548 tax refund cash boost for 2.6 million Aussies Hidden $3,000 per year cost of cashless revolt as record number of banknotes hoarded Why is a road-user charge being considered for EVs? Those in ICE vehicles have to pay an excise on fuel at the moment, which goes to the federal government as general revenue and can be used to fund transport infrastructure. It raises around $17 billion a year, but that revenue stream could start to go on a downward trend if more people buy EVs and don't pay a RUC. According to the Australian Automobile Association, one in 10 cars sold in the June quarter in Australia was an EV, which is a new record. The EVC said a RUC for electric cars shouldn't be introduced until that statistic hits at least three in 10 vehicles sold. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese acknowledged there needed to be a shakeup in the system to account for the rise of battery-powered vehicles. 'We need money to ensure that roads are adequate, and that is a long-held belief,' he said this week. 'What we need to do is to work those issues through and to come up with a realistic plan that can be implemented. And we'll await those discussions.'How would a road-user charge work? That hasn't been hashed out yet, and will form part of the discussions at next week's productivity and economic roundtable. 'We haven't settled on a model or on timing when it comes to that change, but clearly a government of either political persuasion will need to make changes there because the excise take on petrol will come down as petrol vehicles exit the fleet," Treasurer Jim Chalmers said this week. He added "people shouldn't anticipate that there will be a change very soon". Instead of EVs having their own type of RUC, Gaur told Yahoo Finance there should be a universal road tax applied to every vehicle. This was supported by EV motoring expert Toby Hagon, who said electric car drivers needed to start paying their way, but not with their own unique levy. "I'm not sure why we would treat EVs any differently to any other car on the road; we should be taxing them all equally," he told Yahoo Finance. "Don't just single out EVs or hybrids or plug-in hybrids. Apply a road user charge across the board and get rid of fuel excess. It seems like a logical way to do it." Hagon suggested a possible RUC scenario of 3 cents per kilometre driven. The latest data found the average Aussie drives around 12,100 kilometres per year, meaning EV motorists could be paying around $363 each year under Hagon's prediction. Comparatively, the fuel excise is currently 51.6 cents per litre of petrol or diesel, and, according to Compare the Market data from last year, a typical household pays around $3,200 a year in petrol or diesel. Would people stop buying EVs if they had to pay an RUC? A poll of more than 2,500 Yahoo Finance readers found 64 per cent would avoid buying an EV if they had to pay for a road tax. But Hagon said an RUC should not influence a person's decision-making if they're looking for a new car. "The running cost of an EV is so much lower than $363 a year, so it's not going to be the determining factor of whether someone buys an EV or not," he said. When you compare that $3,200 per year cost for ICE car drivers, an EV owner is typically only paying around $701 per year for charging. Gaur said there is a much bigger potential cost than a possible $363 yearly charge to contemplate. "To the person who's thinking about their next car, think about your children, think about your own lifestyle, and what is the best way to keep Australia safe from the effects of climate change," he said. Scott Maynard, the Australian boss of Swedish EV maker Polestar, said Australia needs to make sure that whatever direction it goes in with an RUC that it makes sense for everyone. 'Driving is an essential activity, so it's important the government has a clear understanding of what it would be seeking to achieve with a road user charge," he said. "Only when we understand that question can a framework be developed, and commentary applied. 'I don't think any driver, electric or otherwise, will have an issue with a road user charge system to replace fuel excise as long as it is fair and equitable."Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data
