Plugged Into Progress: Warwick’s Journey Toward Clean Transportation
Situated along the western shore of Narragansett Bay, Warwick is Rhode Island’s second-largest city, known for its rich colonial history, scenic coastline, and proximity to T.F. Green International Airport. As a key transportation hub in the state, Warwick is embracing the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) through significant infrastructure developments and sustainability initiatives.
Advancements in Electric Vehicle Infrastructure
In recent years, Warwick has made notable progress in promoting EV adoption. The city boasts 124 public charging ports within a 15-kilometer radius, with approximately 78% being Level 2 chargers and 40% offering free charging options . A significant milestone was achieved with the installation of high-speed DC Fast Chargers at the Route 117 Park & Ride, as part of Rhode Island’s National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Program. These chargers can replenish an EV’s battery to 80% in just 20 to 40 minutes, enhancing convenience for drivers.
