A network of fast-charging stations for electric vehicles is coming to northern Michigan over the next year, thanks to $1.7 million in grants from the state.

The initiative, which will bring charging stations to small metropolitan areas like Traverse City as well as rural communities, comes from the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy, as part of a plan to build up electric vehicle infrastructure throughout the state.

Great Lakes Concerts is a co-production of Interlochen Public Radio, WKAR and WRCJ. Listen every Monday at 6 p.m. on Classical IPR.
