Illinois Boasts Nation’s Largest Fast Charge Station Network For Electric Vehicles

Illinois Home To Nation's Largest Electric Vehicle Charging Network

Above the din from hundreds of traditional gas powered vehicles roaring past the O'Hare Tollway Oasis Thursday afternoon, Governor Quinn announced Illinois will soon be the home to the nation's largest network of fast charging stations for electric cars.

"We want Illinois to be the greenest state in America," Governor Quinn said. "By installing the largest network of cutting edge fast-chargers, Illinois will continue to support green jobs and provide people with environmentally-friendly and affordable travel options."

The O'Hare Oasis is just one of four oases where fast chargers have been installed. The other three locations includes the Des Plaines Oasis (along I-90), the Lake Forest Oasis and Chicago Southland Lincoln Oasis.
