BOSTON (AP) -- One of New England's largest utility systems has applied for a federal grant to help build 575 stations to charge electric vehicles in Massachusetts and Connecticut.
Northeast Utilities said Tuesday two of its companies expect the Department of Energy to decide by June on a grant to cover half of the project's estimated cost of nearly $1.4 million.
The Connecticut Light & Power Company and Western Massachusetts Electric Company plan to build electric charging stations at homes, workplaces and publicly accessible sites in their service territories over the next two years.
Spokesman Al Lara says the stations would help the region adopt the next generation of vehicles, and help the company assess the impact of electric cars on its distribution system.
