Arkansas-specific information will be coming soon. In the meantime, read more at the Department of Energy's webpage on electricity.

Basic information

Electricity can be used as a transportation fuel to power battery electric and fuel cell vehicles. When used to power electric vehicles or EVs, electricity is stored in an energy storage device such as a battery. EV batteries have a limited storage capacity and their electricity must be replenished by plugging the vehicle into an electrical source. The electricity for recharging the batteries can come from the existing power grid, or from distributed renewable sources such as solar or wind energy. Information on availability of Electric Vehicles (EVs) is located here.
