The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission will install charging stations for electric vehicles at four of its 17 service plazas this year, the commission said Tuesday.

Eventually, all of the service plazas will be equipped with charging stations.

The first stations, to be installed by summer, will be at the King of Prussia plaza in Montgomery County, the Bowmansville plaza in Lancaster County, the New Stanton plaza in Westmoreland County, and the Oakmont plaza in Allegheny County.

No price has been set yet for motorists to use the service. The stations are being paid for with $500,000 from the turnpike, $1 million from the state Department of Environmental Protection, and $1 million from the Car Charging Group of Miami Beach, Fla., which will provide the stations and service. - Paul Nussbaum
